"acceptable" is a stretchable term, in most cases. Some Cantonese
users may prefer a Mandarin UI to a UI in French or English or what
not. Given what we have heard on this list about written Cantonese
and Mandarin, it may even be that most Cantonese users would have
such a preference. For search results again, they may prefer
something relevant in Mandarin to nothing/irrelevant in Cantonese,
even though of course their top preference is relevant stuff in
Cantonese.
