What translations are there were brought over from Pd-extended and most are skeletons only. I updated the build integration so it's easier to use and now not turned off by default. It might be good to identify those languages that are not being maintained and simply remove them for now.
*hint hint* We definitely need a translation push and you don't need to be programmer to edit po files using poedit. Maybe these someone interested in spearheading one? *hint hint*
Also, for things that don't make sense to translate, like "object" or whatever, you can simply change the translation string to an empty string "" and the default is used.

Hi list,
looking at a german translation of Pd right now I am wondering if it
makes sense to translate technical terms such as object, message, into
their german-dictionary-counterparts. I find it counter-intuitive to be
using, like most others, the english words object and messag in german
but having these a bit awkward translations in the pulldown menus.
Does anyone else have an oppinion on this? Thanks!
i feel your pain.
i mostly use Pd in English (`LANG=C pd`) to ease it.
Which is great but hard for beginners to do on proprietary operatingsystems. Just today I discovered that even "array" and "graph" are translated tosomething very confusing and unnecessary german, which is never usedanywhere is Pd's docs or help patches and is hence totally out ofcontext. How would one edit the german internationalization of Pd in itssources?Into how many languages was Pd's GUI translated? Is anyone happy withthese transations?thanks!P
