I switch between English and German a lot. I wonder what that does to the algorithm.

There is an old joke that seems approproate:

> (…) In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. (…)

That joke is many decades older than the creation of the european union: http://www.i18nguy.com/twain.html (probably not written by Mark Twain, but seemingly first appeared when he was still around?)
