Samantha,
It could be worse. For a person with ABAP skills, it's useful (for  
debug purposes). Having spent some systems integration time working  
on SAP products and having to read code comment blocks in GERMAN  
(lots of use of BabelFish and attending German classes for a while)  
the upside of this is that it's generating output in English...

:-)

Warm regards,

Brian Hill
