I am in Australia and I often find this frustrating, I do completely understand why though. The United States has a population of 311 Million. In Australia we have a population of 22 Million.
When you consider the complications in making software global, I can see why our potential customer base doesn't make it worthwhile.
Even the simple things are tougher than they seem (post code vs. zip code). It seems easy enough to detect their location and display the right wording... but then your help documentation is going to be wrong for some, or will you create multiple versions of that too.
I wish it were different, but I suspect until we have the same needs/laws, it's going to continue like this.
Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Yes, we plan to go global, but have to start building relationships with employers in the US first. Please sign up at this feature request http://fiveyearitch.uservoice.com/forums/172768-five-year-it... and we'll let you know as soon as we step out of the US.
