  Questions on ATutor scalability and multilanguage support

  Hi we have some questions regarding Atutor multi-language support.
  
  a) Can you install several language packs on one installation?
  b) Can the user choose from a set of installed language from the user interface?
  c) Can the user set a default language for him/her?
  
  Scalability
  a) How many users (unique and concurrent) does an Atutor installation scale to on a single server installation (high performance server)
  b) Is there any proven case of an installation with more than 10 000 users?
  c) If not, how large is the user base for the largest known installation?
  
  Best regards
  Jimmy Wickberg

  Scalability
  a) How many users (unique and concurrent) does an Atutor installation scale to on a single server installation (high performance server)
  
  >I can only guess, with caching enable, 1000+. We have put conderable effort into making ATutor efficient, but have not had an opportunity to test ATutor in a high volumn situation yet.
  
  b) Is there any proven case of an installation with more than 10 000 users?
  
  >No: still looking for an institution to take this step (none wants to be first). I see no problem at all handling 10000+ students. If you wish to be that institution, we will support your effort.
  
  c) If not, how large is the user base for the largest known installation?
  
  >There are many small installations. None large yet, that we are aware of.
