If it's just for the installer itself, it shouldn't be much text at all.
In fact, a few KB may be all that's needed for /all/ the supported
languages. Now, if one were to broaden multi-language support to the
entire OS, then yes the requirements would go up considerably. Still
likely no more than a few megs though considering they are pure text
resources.

I am just a bit worried that our OS will be HUGE due to the language
resources.A few KB is fine,hopefully it doesn't go above that.

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
