We'll be using the BIP39 implementation present in Bitcoinj as slush sa= ys.=C2=A0

We generate the word list int= ernally (12,18,24) and confirm it is entered correctly through a retyping o= peration. This will allow us to detect character encoding transpositions (e= .g. u0032 vs u00a0) and alert the user before it becomes an issue.

While= English is the language of the first word list to be implemented, we would= definitely integrate alternative non-English word lists to make life easie= r for the global community. In general the approach would be for the user t= o select their language (implying a locale) and then the word list to be se= lected from that locale if available with a fallback to English. This follo= ws the same approach as resource bundles in Java.
