I made a Chinese Translation for Crowbar 0.71, now it's update to 0.72 and I need to remake the translation again, can U add a option to change language, if you don't have time, can you tell me how to do it? If there's no chance to make it come true, just forget what i said.

I had considered this idea several years ago, but did not come up with a good way of doing this. The main issue is how to handle words or phrases that are longer than the English words or phrases; most of the UI is arranged so that the English fits well.

Would you show the code changes you made for your Chinese translation, maybe via your github or with a Pull Request? Maybe I can use your method or maybe I can get an idea on how to make it easier to change.

Well, actually, I translate the Crowbar just by replacing the English text with Chinese Translations. I didn't change any code of the Crowbar. image image

I'm thinking of using txt files to translate Crowbar (such as Half-Life 2's xxx_%language%.txt), but I don't know how.

At least the UI is OK for Chinese Characters.
