<div></div><div><br>
<br>1. <b>Localization</b> in Spanish, Afrikaans, Hindi, Japanese, Arabic, Russian, Chinese (simplified), French, German and Portuguese.<br>
2. <b>Ability</b> to <b>read</b> and <b>edit </b>single sheet Excel .xls files. <br>
3. <b>Sharing</b> of activity over the mesh network.<br>4. <b>Ability</b> to <b>read</b> and<b> edit</b> single sheet Lotus notes.<br>
5. <b>Optimization</b> of the<b> save files</b>. The sheet extents will
include just the part that has data. This feature also "canonicalizes"
the saved data in other ways, such as removing no longer used formats
and color definitions from the save file. <br>
6. <b>Localization</b> made <b>easy</b>, especially of text in the user interface.
All of the text that is normally seen during operation is now easily localizable by changing a single file,
socialcalcconstants.js.
