Re: Localizing variants of English

Wouldn't make much sense for Swiss German since it's not a full 
language as such, many components of a "full language" like High 
German or English are missing (i.e. there are only 2 tenses for verbs, 
present and present perfect). But for other languages this actually 
would/could make sense…

Best
