just my 2cents,
if we make the gui (with the _VERY_ simple english) to multilangual, wouldnt we need to translate the objects too ?
like, if you have in the menu "datei - öffnen", then the object "openpanel" should be "öffnenpanel" ?!
what im after, if the users os is in german, they propably never heard about "file" (datei), so she/he needs object named "machedateiname", lol ?
and i think multilangual gives more problems to ALL, than the user learning a little simple english...
so leave the gui (and objects) in english and just make multilanguage help files, tutorials etc...
but then again, as long as theres english version, i dont really care :)
cheers andre
ps. my mother language is finnish, and i was unable to use a finnish language os...
