I was updating pd-extended.git, so I threw in the new Japanese<br>
translation :-). I'll be sure to update it one last time before the<br>
final release, so you can test it in a real build.<br>
<br>
I'm all for choice with the language of the app, but it seems to me that<br>
is something that the OS should handle. So anyone who set their system<br>
language to English will get Pd-extended in English. For those who want<br>
some mix of languages, then there is no standard technique that I know<br>
of, and how you do it varies on each OS. If someone wants to code this<br>
for Pd-extended, patches are welcome.<br>

If it's enough to change the translatable strings' language, we already have the "_" function in tcl. I have no idea how it goes on the C side. Then I guess instead of restarting, it's possible to redraw the GUI (?).<br>
I'd be happy to code into this when I know more.<br><br>András<br><br>
