WhenSusie says "Hello Everyone", Frank hears no translation (he alreadyspeaks English), Jose hears the translation "Hola a todos" (Spanish),and Niklas hears the translation "Hallo alle" (German).

void LLPrimitive::init_primitive(LLPCode p_code){

LLMemType m1(LLMemType::MTYPE_PRIMITIVE);if (mNumTEs){

if (mTextureList){

// From the SnowGlobe open source viewer (cpp)


{delete [] mTextureList;

}mTextureList = new LLTextureEntry[mNumTEs];

}

mPrimitiveCode = p_code;}
