Mexico: Language Installation

[#1]

This might seem like a silly questions, but for those with Mexican companies, or operations in Mexico, what language did you install? I installed Spanish and received a comment from the user in Mexico, who's helping me test, that the Spanish in Mexico is a different dialect than the Spanish language installation, and that for her, using English is easier.

There's not a Mexican version of the Spanish language that can be installed for SAP is there?

Thank you.

Hi TJ,

Funny thread... Spanish in Mexico vs Spanish in Spain is the same as English in the UK vs English in the US... they use ocational different words and modisms but at the end of the day is the same thing...

There's no Mexican version of Spanish in SAP the same way that theres no Australian version of English.

Well - especially for Spanish the differences can be pretty significant (e. g. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_dialects_and_varieties) across the world.

Thats correct theres still a lot of dialects still widely spoken in Spain, The Spanish that is used as a standard and was inherit by people in the Americas (Mexico Included) is called "Castellano"...
