Nah, I don't think so, he uses the same way as the VCMP official browser does, i.e, load the fonts/chars from an bitmap file.
But if he does, then it will be a good idea. Stormeus didn't make the GUI things, I want to see that in this client too. George is also busy in his work, like Stormeus.

Maybe you are wrong. VCMP browser uses system window. Not a bitmap file. And George's browser uses XAML window. It's no problem to support multilanguage.

VC:MP's client loads the extended Latin charset from the system font, then caches it into a DirectX bitmap.

Yeah, it's possible, but it's really necessary make it multilanguage asap?
Will be a hard job to do so, however I'm already thinking about do it hereafter.

If you can open source, I could help you.

He already told you, not gonna happen.

I personally don't see the point in translating such a small program. If you're doing it right all you use it for is picking a server that probably has an English name in a big list and connect. Maybe some people will even learn some English using the client...

I have to agree with @Thijn on this one.

Some of you might not be aware of the scale of VCMP's Chinese community.
In their timezone, some chink server peaks up to 40 players consistently.

I went in there once out of curiosity and found a whole new world, totally cut of from rest of VCMP community(typical chinese, eh?)
- 99 Files to download
- There is a Japanese like looking island in Ocean Beach. Some whack mapping.
- No-one speaks English. If you try to communicate in English, you are despised.
- EVERYONE can rocket glitch.

It was fun.

Yes I'm from China. But I not often go to servers. (Because I don't have time.) We use Chinese pinyin to communicate in the server. That's why I want to write a plugin to make VC:MP supports multilanguage. :)

Exactly. There's a difference between being able to, and allowed to.

You can ask him for permission, obviously. I asked him for using his code and he allowed me.

I'm not using his code. I need to change his code.

All what I want is to help the community, then if you want to help, you are more than welcome to do that, everyone is. The reason that I haven't published the source code is because the malicious people can ruin the launcher's reputation, making bad copies and release for the players outdated of the VCMP forum.

You can see Pootle, it's an online translate toolkit. :)

BTW. I hope VC:MP's wiki can support multilanguage! :D

The only way to make the wiki support multilanguage is to contact the community who is developing that wiki( I mean MediaWiki ).( i think )

MediaWiki has a multilanguage plugin. But VC:MP's wiki hasn't installed.
