In the case of Portuguese (though I don't speak, I understand a lot), I know 
the Brazilian Portuguese is _quite_ different from that spoken in Portugal... 
I don't know about the few places in Africa (former Portuguese colonies).

Regarding Spanish, afaik, the language is spoken in more countries than any 
others (not by more people, I guess that is Chinese), and there are wild 
differences between Spain, southern South America, northern South America, 
Central America and Mexico... even down here (in the South Cone) Chilean 
people speak quite differently from Argentinian and Uruguayan people, not 
only from an accent point of view, but the words themselves...

The first shot at translating MailScanner into Spanish was done by Luis 
Peromarta (from Spain) and myself (from Argentina), after a brief discusion 
about the local-neutrality of it...
