... for Vietnamese!
All major search engines use Unicode to search Vietnamese text. So, it only makes sense that only Unicode should be used for Vietnamese to enable correct search results for now and the future.

Awkward Vietnamese on Yahoo!Mail
During a recent trip to Việt Nam, the universal reaction to the new Vietnamese version of Yahoo!Mail is a welcome one.
However, this is followed by comments that the language used therein is quite peculiar, does not correspond at all to common usage or syntax, and/or the translation must have done by someone who does not live in Việt Nam. For instance, the Vietnamese word order is noun adjective, yet "Yahoo! Thư" is used. It is suggested that the name should be left as "Yahoo! Mail" as this is already quite familiar.
Other problems include: inconsistency, verbosity, repetitiveness, archaic forms.

Errors with Google Groups Vietnamese
The Vietnamese localization of Google Groups is welcome, but a cursory examination shows just plain too many errors -- both spelling and grammar.
