What I thought, if Choli doesn't care and has some spare time, is to distribute among all translators a special version of his Translator app that would upload the new/corrected file directly to the server. In that case, for safety, each copy of the Translator should be personalized with the nick of the owner and add it as comment in any translator file created with it to detect leaks immediately (hope you got my point ).
imo, it's better and more secure to make a new program to do that.

patchou should add an option in the preferences or somewhere to report translation errors... (and clicking on that option will, for example, open a browser with a page where the user can report)

RE: Language Downloader suggestion
I've quickly read the first message of the thread and sorry but this will not be done. I've already often talked about internet download during the setup and I'm absolutely against it, for many reasons. I want to let people share Messenger Plus!, backup their favorite version on a CD, etc... my setup is one big chunk of program, everything is included in it, and it will stay that way.

As for updating the language automatically, it's actually a bad idea. That's how softwares like Linux get so messy. You need some people to control what's going on, or else,everything becomes chaotic. There's already a Language forum where peopel can post updates, then I can make the change once approved and the new translation file is released with the next version of Messenger Plus!. It may seem to be a little tedious but that way, everything keeps working fine and there's no risk that a lkanguage file become so bad that it has to be recreated from the beginning.

I hope I'm clear lol, I gotta go, sorry :)

O.P. RE: Language Downloader suggestion
Patchou's arguments sound logical, nevertheless...
When... Let's leave it as an old suggestion, then. :)

RE: Language Downloader suggestion
there should at least be a centralised place where you can get all the languages, like the plugins db, otherwise, for a [obscure language] speaker, it would be hard for him/her to find their language.

I wouldn't mind hosting it on my server.
