Bonjour !

New localized versions of the fine Doodle's ScreenSaver appeared latetly. I - of course - downloaded and checked the sources to see what I can do to make it to speak in my native language.

Here's what came to my mind :

It seems that all the output strings (i.e. all that HAS to be translated) are tightly included in the source. Would it be possible to "externalize" such strings for the main program, the installer and the modules as well ?
I think this should be added to the Todo list real soon so as to make the translation process easier.

TIA.
Bye.

If you've downloaded the sources, then you can find a todo.txt in there. The first item on that list is NLS support.

So, the next version will probably be NLS enabled, with all the text to be translated in external text files (I'll possibly use the msgc package).

Now I only have to find the free time to work on it...
