One of the features of the new Fleet Library is the ability to create multi-lingual installers. We've always been able to provide English support, and due to the efforts of our fine South American pilots Pablo Fraga and Ariel Griotti, we're getting Spanish pretty well covered too. Over the past few weeks, I've been "externalizing" our language strings so that it is easy for pilots to translate the messages from English into another language. I'm enclosing the English language pack for you.

If someone knows enough of a foreign language to be able to translate (ie. you don't just use Google or Babelfish) please feel free to download this ZIP file and get started. smile

Cheers!

Hey Luke. Not sure how many Brazilian pilots we have at DVA, but I'd be happy to translate them to Brazilian Portuguese. By the way, thanks for all of the hard work!

I technically am Brazilian (both parents are from Brazil), but I was born in the United States. As I mentioned to Luke, I grew up speaking Portuguese at home and later learned to read and write in the language. Actually, I'm already done translating the main package of the installer, but Luke may need additional folks to test it out and check my work. :-) I would check with him.
