Can the English language be created as a separate text document ?

Thus, using this text file, the program can be translated into other languages.,

I can translate it in my language,

Otherwise, it is necessary to convert from the "exe" file in every update.

As long as I'm a single developper, this app will stay English-only.

The problem isn't translating the app itself, the problem is translating the movie database. It's an enormous amount of work to find the titles, the plots and the posters, for each movies, in various languages.

For the moment I don't have the resource to tackle such a huge task. Hopefully one day...

You have already made an excellent application that has no alternative :w00t: ,

It's definitely not my goal to increase your workload,

Being able to use only "Menu" and "Info" boxes in my own language.

example : Movie Filters, Movie Titles, Any Country, Usa, Turkey, Crime, Director, Starring....

What I want from you is that I can do it myself :

"Coollector\languages\english.txt" Creating a folder named

Since you are the only developer of this program, there is no chance of anyone else doing this. :)

This is not the philosophy of this app. As a rule, I never allow a user to do something on his own that could benefit others, and each user has to stupidly do the same work on his own. For example I don't allow users to add pictures just for themselves, they have to contribute the pictures and they're available to everyone.

When internationalisation files will become a feature, contributions will be welcome, but they'll be centralized by me.

I've already done some work in that direction, built several tools. But I'll need to hire someone to do the actual work, I already have enough on my plate.
