Thanks for the shout! :)

Many (most?) OSs have sets of strings in their resource files containing translated versions of all the necessary text. Including many languages isn't that space-wasting, as you have the benefit of the data being purely text. There would likely not be more than a few KB used for all the strings in any necessary language.

Whoa...this thread changed rapidly.As for me,I am simply a scientist.I study Quantum physics,Astronomy,Meteorology,and Computer sciences.I began programming back around 2012,starting with a BASIC compiler.I then began to mess around with BATCH.Things really kicked into motion when a power surge wiped my HDD clean (really strange disaster).I didn't have the funds to buy another Win-7 key,so I installed FreeDOS.I began to poke around with DOS,and eventually became an expert with QBASIC.It went from there.I joined the DEV forums here,and helped with a few things.I received help from a lot of members (A shout out to mercury for being the person who put me in the loop of everything).Shortly after,I began to mess with Java for a short time (Java is my worst enemy...I can't even get "HELLO!" out of it without banging my head against something).I then began to mess with Borland Turbo C++,then ASM.I develop games on a gaming platform that uses LUA in my spare time,and I also perform at concerts in my band (Flute).Now,with that stuff aside,let's get back to the language.

As long as the user can READ what the screen is displaying,we should be fine.If the user looks at the screen and thinks it says "Icecream formatted burger?",then something is wrong with the translation.I think we should host an online repo/archive with all the language INI (Or however the extensions work with the installer) files;Which can be downloaded by any user who happens to be Dutch (Hi Maarten) for example.Just an idea,as it would be a real pain to have EVERY language on EARTH fitted into one CD/VOLUME.I mean,I could research how modern OSes do it (Ubuntu especially) on their installation utils.Regards,Jayden
