We have over 50 members from 16 different countries and 6 different continents.  Does this make us really international?  I have noticed that our new website cannot accept different accents from other languages.  If your last name is García it comes out as something like: Garc4¿=a.  We need to realize that Spanish accents (as well as accents in other languages) are an important part of the spelling system of that language.  If we are not able to apply accents on certain names, it is the same as misspelling the name.  I certainly would not be happy if my name would appear as Mongoria instead of Longoria, simply because the system could not allow for a correct spelling!  I am sure that our international friends feel the same.  We need to fix our website so that it will really represent the international nature of Rotary.
