English localization
Hello, wmjordan. Could you make English localization by default?
I don't think it a good idea cause most of the software users are Chinese and they do not speak much English. I suppose the best practice would be deciding localization based on system language settings.
Thank you for posting this issue, which is actually the same as #12 . Unfortunately I can not afford the time now. There's too much work.
I have mean add the English language for multiculture users. English is not my native language, but it is native for software developers.
Yes, I understood.
Unfortunately this application had begun its development at about 13 years ago and had no idea to be used by users out of China. As far as I could remember, about three or four users suggested to make it international. There are about hundreds or even one thousand strings in the source code which had to be pulled out to resource files. The interface also needs some modifications since Chinese usually take less space and making it international means we have to reposition many controls. The change are not too difficult for me, people in #12 tried to help too, but it is humdrum and takes days' or weeks' work which is not affordable for me at this moment.
