I have written programs in about 15 different programming
languages, but I have never heard about Frogtalk.

WBridge comes with English user interface.

Anyone who wants a half-decent bridge program.

Now there's a stirring testimonial for you. You couldn't have said,
"accepts claims willingly and without complaint"(?)

No, you look at the code and it's still bogged down with "fini si"
statements.

How much does it cost does it have a speech interface that uses Yoda's
voice?

No, I really couldn't. Perhaps the new version actually does, but
it's claim function was imperfect last I tried. It is however, better
than the other software I've used, and the price is right.

if it has an English interface, couldn't you put a little English on
your website to say that? Like what is the Wbridge5 anyway? is a
bridge playing program, a bridge analysis program? what?

I believe the English UI translations were provided by a third party -
though he might ask that anyone providing translations for the program
provide them for the web page, too...

I find it amusing that people who develop a bidding system complex
enough to require hundreds of pages of system notes find it difficult
or inconvenient to work out a few basic foreign language phrases to
take advantage of free bridge software.

I agree completely. However, for the benefit of the xenophobic or simply
lazy:

Sorry, you lost me with that comment - I open wbridge5, click on
bridgez and enter my user name and password and then I get socket error
10054. It worked fine with the previous version.
