Hi Everybody,

OpenID is gaining plenty of momentum worldwide, and it's important that 
we support multiple languages. I started a brief proposal on the OpenID 
twiki to allow an RP to pass the user's language preference the OP help 
localize the sign in flow:

http://wiki.openid.net/OpenIDLanguagePreference

The proposal is based on OAuth's Language Preference extension.

I'm also very happy to announce that Yahoo's OP has experimental support 
for several languages, including English, Spanish, German, French, 
Chinese, Italian, and Korean. The twiki contains links to display the 
Yahoo OpenID sign in screens in the supported languages.

Thanks
Allen
