As I live in Montreal and my first language is French, I'd be glad to help translate it in French as well.

If ever you have a question about a technical term and its translation in French, The Office Quebecois de la Langue Francaise (a Quebec organization that wants to preserve French in Quebec) has a great tool to translate tricky technical terms:

Most of it is quite simple so I'm guessing it would be about a few hours' work.

Almost all of the internal strings that are displayed are ready to be localised, they just need a new language file added.

The issue is that the interface needs to be localised, and in some cases will no doubt need to be fine tuned to accommodate larger or shorter strings. Then when I change the English interface, of course the other ones need to be redone, so it becomes a bit of a maintenance issue.

Yeah, the actual translation hopefully shouldn't be too bad!

Hi nick

Whenever MacDive is ready to be translated I'd be glad to work on the Spanish translation. Just let me know.

I can translate to Finnish if there's need for it.

I speak fluent Japanese so can translate MacDive to that language if required sometime in the future. Just drop me a line.

Hello,

i test for the moment MacDive in trial version.
In the purchase version, is it possible to change the langage to french?

Thank you for your answer,

because i don't pay for the dive software if it's not possible to change the langage in french uses.

And good dive for all...

No, MacDive is not currently localised. It's on the to-do list.
