Translation

From Musik

A regular question in the forums concerns the translation of musikCube into other languages. We are researching for ways to allow this, any comments on this are welcome.

Translation Support

We need help from developers experienced in internationalization/localization (i18n/l10n) to get some insight into implementation issues. How should we do this? What are the implementation options? What are the pitfalls? How can we coordinate such an effort?

Binary Hack Translations

MEstk began working on a French translation by hacking the binaries with Resource Hacker. For the time being there are three other translations: German, Spanish and Japanese.

All menus, context menus, boxes and miniPlayer are translated but it's not possible to translate the main interface.
