  1. Thanks for a really interesting thread. In an age where cross-border communication is taken for granted, the effort behind produce 'localisation' is often taken for granted. This is a great insight into the history of this issue. It really helps to put modern software (i'm an IT guy) localisation in perspective.
  2. Hi Inferno. I've just come out of my Dark Ages, and as space and time is a premium for me, I've begun to use LDD, but like yourself, I found I was stonewalled at the parts ordering stage. I've found that the combination of LDD, LDD2POVRay(and POVray for rendering hi-quality visualisations), and then LDDManager (Found at this thread) which generates order lists for Bricklink, has not only provided the same functionality, but seems to be better (rendering really inspires and gives a great visualisation of your project) as Bricklink ordering is on the whole more fully stocked than pick-a-brick (compare the 1600 or so bricks available there with the 2500+ bricks available on Bricklink). I highly recommend you give these a go, as they will get you going without too much hassle. The hardest part for me was actually learning to use the Bricklink website itself! Feel free to message me if you want any help getting this stuff set up, as of course, I've already gone through the experience.
