Description Changwoo Ryu 2003-05-18 17:08:38 UTC
Description of Problem:

I have found Korean translations of "first name" and "last name" are
swapped.  I have contacted the translator but he said it was intentional. 
Because in Korea and other Asian countries, names are usually written with
family name first, and given name next (no middle names).

(Though I write my given name "Changwoo" first in any international
activities, my name is actually "Ryu Changwoo" in Korean.)

It will be nice if:

1. in 'Check Full Name' dialog, display "Last Name" first and "First Name"
next as default in some locales.
2. don't assume Full Name is <first_name> [<middle_name>] <last_name>.

Microsoft Outlook's Korean edition displays last name first.  And user can
 select the way how full name would be displayed.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. New Contacts and click 'Full Name' button.
