Re: [Mlipod-devel] Changing distribution for other languages

[M.Merlin <ma...@gm...>]

I don't know if it's a good idea but the language installer program could
compare the versions of the main dll and the translated one to check if they
match... only on success it should install the new language... 

Is there any flaw in this approach?
