I think multi-language patch “comments” is more difficult than multi-language “Help files”.


M-L-Help files can be done translating each help file and saving it with a name like “metro-help-ES.pd” or “metro-help-FR.pd” then telling pd to add the -ES or -XX to the english helpfile name.


This is a lot of work, but can/should be done by the community, I remember that something like this has been done in Pd-extended menus with an online infrastructure, everyone contributed with what was left to be done.


Of course this increases a lot the size of the package, there should be something like downloading only the extra language that you use and not all. Some folder somewhere.


Just a sketch.

Subject: Re: [PD] multi-language help patches

I'll implement any *clear* spec for multi-language help patches someone comes up 
with with the following constraints:
1. it separates design from content.
2. in only requires documentation writers to care about content.
3. it does not pigeonhole help patches into having a single, ugly design
4. documentation writers will be guaranteed that whatever they write, it won't 
overlap patch content.
5. it is maintainable and scalable

Sounds like .html.
