Nikola,
There is multilanguage support. (You have to enter the languages yourself by
the way).
Of course, I can't expect VS to be able to translate my labels...
However it is probably usable for the languages used in the USA, however if
you would use it in the EU you probably will needs 50 times more time to
create your program than when you would create it for 1 language, so
difficult it is to manage.
I understand that, but the thing is that even if I wanted to implement
all 23 official languages of EU, I couldn't do that for the simple fact
I don't speak all of those :-) But, since the project I'm doing is an
application which helps people learn languages, and since the
application will be GPLed, it is reasonable to include multilanguage
support in case the people like it and decide to localise it for me
(since targeted users are those who like to learn languages). Aaand, my
girlfriend studies French and Macedonian, my best friend Russian and
Italian, and another friend German and Spanish, so I reckon that if I
buy them a beer each, my app will be quite a localised one, no matter it
doesn't cover all 23 official languages of Union (of which my native is
not one) :-)
It is in my idea absolute not usable in the EU.
I disagree here. Look at phpBB :-) If you have dedicated users of your
application, they'll localise it for you :-)
