Hello All,
Since it seems as if many have forgotten about this, I figured I’d send a
reminder...
A while back, Mateusz decided to no longer continue development of the FreeDOS
localization project. Since that time, I had received numerous requests to add
or correct the translations for one program or another. Eventually, that led to
the creation of a GitHub project to house them.
For the new NLS project, I included all language translations from the FreeDOS
localization project and every FreeDOS package. All of which was placed into a
single structured GitHub repository.
The translators I’ve dealt with really like having it all in one big blob.
Also, I put together a couple scripts that create reports and assist them in
finding outdated and missing translations. Those tools were quickly thrown
together and are by no means perfect. But, those existing tools already help
them a lot. Eventually, I will improve them.
It is a little bit of a pain for the maintainer of a program. But, it really
isn’t that bad. In fact, I use the GitHub repository directly for most of my
FreeDOS related projects and removed the NLS from my actual projects. I just
have a my release scripts download the latest translations for my stuff during
a release.
I do try and keep the original languages and translations up to date. So, if
you are aware of something that is outdated, missing or whatever let me know
directly. Or even better, just create an issue for the project.
Optimally, all FreeDOS devs would submit updated files (or even better issue
pull requests) for their projects and just fetch translations from here.

Thanks,
