that's right. Translators have only received .91 and they won't get any other more until the release day. However beta testers have received .92

O.P. RE: ALL TRANSLATORS READ THIS ASAP (faults in current translations for msgplus 3)
At some requests I rechecked some updated language files that I recieved, they pasted those "tests" that I did for this thread (which aren't realy tests, just a comparison with defaultLg.dat and the translation with Choli's Translator). But when I had a quickview with them in Messenger Plus!, I discovered that there are still translations with too long lines.

So, please check your translation for too long lines by actually browsing thru every possible menu/dialog/etc...!!!

Update (especialy for Greek language):
Please check your language for leftover chunks of the original English file!





PS: Maybe I have no right in saying this, but I'm personaly very ashamed that some translations are included in Plus!. They are simple not worth the be put in IMO. I know I also left some small mistakes into the Dutch one, but that's nothing compared to what a mess some languages realy are...

I haven't tested all translations as hard as Cookie has, but if what he has been saying these days is true (and I belive on him that it is) I agree with him. Several translations aren't good enough...

hi cookie,
how do you decide what language is worth?
did you find not translated strings or do you conclude from the errors the user are posting here?
anyway, i hope you don't mean the german translation (A)
but please let us know what we can improve if you include our translation into your statement!

Obviously, he does NOT mean the German translation. It's splendid! I only found some minor mistakes in it. The biggest one is this:
CheckPlusButton=Auf &Plus! prüfen
ProfileButton=&Profil anzeigen
Both on buttons in the same window. Not very nice! ;)

Edit:
Just found &Weiter (on a button) and &Wortfilter exportieren

Must say that the German translation is the best I've seen so far! Apart from the Swedish one, of course! ;)

•    Important: one mistake is human but multiple errors due to improper testing will result in the translation for a given language to be completely suspended. You have to understand that Messenger Plus! is being translated in a lot of languages and problems that can be detected easily can only mean that the translation itself suffers from a lack of work. Again, keep in mind that tens of thousands of people will use your translation and all of them will be expecting professional results.
