Language & Translation

May I suggest an very importen thread to have in a project like this, the Language & Translation thread, for which there at all time shall be an list of the current text strings, so when ever new text strings are added to the program, this text strings will be added to this list.

This shall ofcause at all time be in the international computer language, english, for by this way to make it simple and easy for the translaters of the language files to make sure that their tranlations are upto date.

So for that it was some time ago we've planned that for vhcs (former times yes) to simply install a script on our server with a database of all our current translated strings and languages in it.
As such one can easy overlook new words (in new releases, functions maybe) and users who registered for that service can whenever they've some spare time just look which strings are untranslated and add them via the script into the translation - table.
This way we're easy on installing new languages and keep track on actual translation status and - it's simple to use.
As a benefit in long-term - thinking it would be possible to have more than one translation in one language so that maybe native speakers can rate the translation or correct it - so we always use the best translation we have.
