[dcplusplus-devel] Some translations

[Michael J. <mrm...@ho...>]

First send to mailing list, so hope i not screwed up :)
Some translations attached in a rar file (i seem to remember Hotmail playin=
g with line endings in patches, and breaking them a few years ago).
Might need a quick look through the patch to make sure i didn't screw up (D=
C++ compiled fine with them, and tested them to make sure they were alright=
, except for the one change in MDIChildFrame.h, as i didn't know where to l=
ook for that one :P).
And to clarify, is it meant to be in English or American (they spell things=
 weird) ?
Also wasn't really sure what to do about ones which could be written better=
, e.g. in the patch i did a straight copy of
Hub (last seen on if offline)
But if correcting english, i think
Hub (last seen in, if offline)
reads better.
thanks

The question is whether we should keep "bad" strings in order to keep 
compatibility with old translations. I'd say we don't. Because new 
translations will have to be updated anyway. Of course, I'm not saying 
that we should spuriously change every string...

Looks good..."close" appears in the right-click menu of the tabs...

Well, personally I'd prefer English, but American unfortunately seems to be the standard so I guess
that's the way to go...
