Input regarding the doc in itself is always appreciated. :D

Note: the interface language can be modified later in the “General Options\Local Settings” section of the Preferences panel of Messenger Plus!.

The section is called "General > Main" in Plus 4.x
Fixed in several places. :)

Examples of incorrect translations:

        * UnicodeRadio=Unicode encoding
        * UnicodeRadio= Unicode encoding
        * UnicodeRadio=Unicode
          encoding
Maybe I can't see well the document, but it seems to me that the first line can be a correct translation, can't it? Or it may be a typo where it should show the example of putting a space before the equal? (UnicodeRadio =blablabla)?

If it was a typo, then it's fixed now.

Different tags can be found in the text. Here is a list of those tags and their meaning:
Review this section. In Plus! Live, the only tags that appear are these:

    * %1, %2, %3, ... : these tags are like the old %s of Plus 2.x and 3.x but the number identificates them, so in the translation you can place them in diferent order as they appear in the english translation.
    * %1!d!, %2!d!, ...: the same as the revious ones, but these are for numbers (not strings). It is important not to interchange them (ie: if the tag has the "!d!" part, keep it. If it doesn't have it, don't put it). These tags are the equivalent of %i of Plus 2.x or 3.x.
    * \n, \t and & : the same as in Plus 2.x, 3.x.
Did a quick edit at that area. Please come with further input regarding the tags.

The auto-update feature has two windows. The first one pops-up when an update is detected and, if the user clicks “Download” in this window, the second one is displayed when the download is complete and the update is ready to be installed. Here are the steps to trigger the auto-update window.

    Start regedit to open the Windows registry.

    Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Patchou\Messenger Plus!\.

    Edit the “SoftwareBuild” value and set it to 1 (write down the current value to set it back after the test is complete).

    Simply wait and hope for Messenger Plus! to check for an update.
does this still work in Plus Live (adding "Live" in the registry path)?
The registry value is there, so I assume it does work. However, the old .doc said that you could check for updates through the About window, which no longer is true.

I did some quick searching, but I didn't find any ways to force it.
