DesireData has already supported iso-latin-1 for a while, thanks to Chun 
Lee. However, the program is still waaay too buggy to be usable.

I added it as a comment in deutsch.tcl, for further consideration.

However, I think that send_message will disappear soon, or mutate into
something else. For several months, DesireData has had both a PdBox and a
TclBox, http://artengine.ca/desiredata/gallery/desiredata_1.png, both of 
which can be made multiline too, by clicking on the "+" button.

One possible nice addition would be to have those boxes embeddable in
every patcher window, which would prepend the canvas's receive-sym to each 
message, so that typing "obj 0 0 adc~" would add an object to the patcher 
it's been typed in. (think of pd as a commandline tool...)

changed. (will upload the changes soon)

btw, the format of the translation files is really like I put it in a 
previous message:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pure-data/pd/src/locale/Attic/deutsch.tcl?rev=1.1.2.4&only_with_tag=devel_0_39&view=markup

So anyone with a pd developer account can go edit the translation 
themselves, which ideally would be best so that I don't have to put them 
in myself, but as it is, half of the translators don't have an account.
