Here is the fix for color names:

Define the following in language files around line 992:

strLangInc_Post_Buttons00130 = "Black" '"Black"
strLangInc_Post_Buttons00140 = "Red" '"Red"
strLangInc_Post_Buttons00150 = "Yellow" '"Yellow"
strLangInc_Post_Buttons00160 = "Pink" '"Pink"
strLangInc_Post_Buttons00170 = "Green" '"Green"
strLangInc_Post_Buttons00180 = "Orange" '"Orange"
strLangInc_Post_Buttons00190 = "Purple" '"Purple"
strLangInc_Post_Buttons00200 = "Blue" '"Blue"
strLangInc_Post_Buttons00210 = "Beige" '"Beige"
strLangInc_Post_Buttons00220 = "Brown" '"Brown"
strLangInc_Post_Buttons00230 = "Teal" '"Teal"
strLangInc_Post_Buttons00240 = "Navy" '"Navy"
strLangInc_Post_Buttons00250 = "Maroon" '"Maroon"
strLangInc_Post_Buttons00260 = "LimeGreen" '"LimeGreen"


Change lines 89-104 in inc_post_buttons.asp to this:

<select name="color" onChange="showcolor(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">
<option value="black" selected><%=strLangInc_Post_Buttons00130%></option>
<option value="red"><%=strLangInc_Post_Buttons00140%></option>
<option value="yellow"><%=strLangInc_Post_Buttons00150%></option>
<option value="pink"><%=strLangInc_Post_Buttons00160%></option>
<option value="green"><%=strLangInc_Post_Buttons00170%></option>
<option value="orange"><%=strLangInc_Post_Buttons00180%></option>
<option value="purple"><%=strLangInc_Post_Buttons00190%></option>
<option value="blue"><%=strLangInc_Post_Buttons00200%></option>
<option value="beige"><%=strLangInc_Post_Buttons00210%></option>
<option value="brown"><%=strLangInc_Post_Buttons00220%></option>
<option value="teal"><%=strLangInc_Post_Buttons00230%></option>
<option value="navy"><%=strLangInc_Post_Buttons00240%></option>
<option value="maroon"><%=strLangInc_Post_Buttons00250%></option>
<option value="limeGreen"><%=strLangInc_Post_Buttons00260%></option>
</select></td>

About Country names:

1) There are 223 such countries in v3.3.03 and duplicating them in language files will be unnecessarily eat up server resources.
2) We need to find a way to make one country "default", best place for this is admin section and the database.
3) The country data of the members are kept as strings in the database and this will cause problems with translated versions, getting statistics etc. A better way is to keep three letter ISO country codes and use a lookup table to output them on the screen.
4) We need to use a reliable "official" resource for this, such as UN resources.

The mother-country-name issue is solved in v4b04 using an application variable set in admin section & related code changes.<
