You haven't checked, then. Unless the company's been taken over by the beancounters again, I'd imagine localized messages are at least available for roughly the same languates available for the GUI parts. The thing is, as long as you stay away from command line options and scripting/programming language keywords (yes, I have more than 15 years' experience in the localization industry, I've seen quite a bit of such foolishness) and the software is sanely written, messages are fairly straightforward and risk-free to translate. . -- Peter N.
