This article is not about who is right or wrong, instead it is about an issue which this incident brought up, the issue of language. There were those who stated that the development of Sinhalese language support for software was a conspiracy to keep people from rural areas out of the IT industry. Hence the use of localized software should not be encouraged. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.lankaweb.com/news/items08/040808-2.html " target="blank">www.lankaweb.com/news/items08/040808-2.html </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
