O.P. Language Downloader suggestion
I have been discussing lately in one of those controverted translation threads about an unofficial language included in MP!. And that drove me to the idea of suggesting an interseting feature in Messenger Plus!:
The Language Downloader!
I've thought that if it's becoming a real memory problem to add those lots of languages it would be very useful to download them from the net.
Obviusly, all MP! users have Internet, so it shouldn't be considered a problem.
Even a dial-up connection wouldn't have many problems to download 30kB (or 5kB as Choli told me yesterday, hopefully compressed) they would download anyway once per language file included.
Well, the download of the selected language files (the actual language list should be retrieved at the beginning of the Setup) could be during the setup, before the sponsor agreement.
If there's no Internet connection (no language has/can bee/n selected), a message (in English) can suggest the user to download the language later, and remember it once signed in in Messenger:
"Remember you can choose another language NOW in the Plus! > Preferences > Language Panel".
Well, Choli himself found it useful, I don't know if Patchou will.
Another advantage is that we, translators, could upload anytime new versions or corrections to the server. MP! could ask once a week if the version on the server is newer than the installed!
I seriuosly duobt it could suppose a bandwidth overload...
That's all for now.
