Thanks, that is very interesting.

Hello!
@Raul_ES
Interesting example. I didn't know the "cvar, export, external" trick. :)
I have done something like your example (with little differences) in a project:
https://github.com/rchastain/eschecs/blob/master/source/language.pas
By the way (since you ask for opinions), I don't like translations made with Google. Only a person who is a native speaker of the language and who is an user of the software can do a good translation (IMHO).
Good luck with your project.

It's a chicken and egg thing. No X translation, no X users. Google X translation, some X users and then feedback about better X translation :)

Yes, maybe you are right.

By the way, I never understood this story of chicken and egg. It seems obvious to me that to start a breeding you need a hen and a rooster. What would you do with an egg? ;)
