We definitely intend Virtaal to be perfectly usable on Windows as well. There are a few small issues we are still sorting out on the translate-devel mailing list and Bugzilla. > The first thing I noticed was that part of the user interface (I > should probably say 'part of the menu') was translated to Dutch, and > part of it wasn't. Some of these translations are part of the GTK+ library (Open, Quit, About, etc.), but the rest come from Virtaal itself. Since we are only now starting to translate it, people will still see it in English until they can help us with translations :-) > So, the first thing I tried was to load the packaged > *.mo files in > the 'nl' folder and immediately got an error (error: unpack requires a > string argument of length 8).
