All we know that plus! has a complete international support. However some people can't benefit this because as Patchou wrote "Language files increase the size of the setup file so we don't add languages spoken by relatively a few people." Also I noticed that the current Languages folder size is 3.1 MB and setup file size is already 4.63 MB. As you see almost two of third of the setup file is consisted of Languages. I don't understand programming but instead adding every language to setup file, let people download Plus! directly in their own language. Then when somebody wants to use another language, let him select and download it from Preferences panel automatically. Or maybe this kind of selection can be prepared for the first window that setup will display when starting to installation. Why I wrote this is that when I want to share Plus! with my friends I have difficulty to make them install it because they don't know English mostly. Think this, thank you from now.
So gennerelly i agree: it is waste downloadindg 40 languages that you wont even use. You got a point by hitting the download-my-language or download-german-language-button in the language-preference page while configurate msgplus.
I agree: shrink the setup-file to english. And in case that msgplus (the page) has been translated, the default download setup-file should be with the same respective language.
Well - i do not agree - or maybe i do. Its an interesting thought though... i dont know - it wouldnt be a time-saver for Patchou - it would take a war, building all those unique setup-files...
I dont really think i have an oppinion thinking about it. Maybe i should just delete this post... baaaah
