OK, so that I'm clear... A first time user of Audacity 1.2.6 is running in zh_TW locale. They run the Audacity executable for the first time and they see this in the dropdown: http://www.gaclrecords.org.uk/audacity_first_run.png ? There is no default before user makes that visible choice, except in the sense that the default is English if Audacity can't find the language folder specified in that first run dialogue. If that's the only problem, I really don't think it justifies a re-release of 1.2.6. For a start, it's unclear if 1.2.6 even builds any longer on current compilers. I hardly think it's even worth mentioning on the web site translation for zh_TW, but if anyone wants to do it, go ahead. I suggest it goes above "System Requirements" on each of the three 1.2 download pages. On another issue, there is a broken zh_TW reference page for 1.2 in SVN: http://code.google.com/p/audacity/source/browse/website/trunk/htdocs/locale/zh_TW/reference.html It's only a partial translation, not linked to anywhere, and was committed without the images folder to go with it, so is virtually useless. I e-mailed the author (Milo) about it but got no answer, so I'm intending to delete that redundant "zh_TW" folder unless anyone wants to work on that document. I think time would be better spent on translating the wiki-based 1.3 Manual: http://manual.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Main_Page which has no Traditional or Simplified Translation at all.
