Ability to change language is needed. But the real question is those names should be translated or not. For example KDE do that. KDE also provide two options: System language (Polish); No language (standard), where second one I assume is language in C++ code. If names will be translated - how to provide user ability to change language when it may does not current language (for example English guy, that does not know Chinese). Or maybe flags solve this issue? Please not that in one thing Wireshark do translation better than KDE, because we can change translation without restart application
("Mis-named" because it should be something such as "System setting", to indicate what defines the language. I'll fix that.)
Please do not do that. This will be a bug, because Wireshark does not support all possible system languages (for example Czech), so real language is not system, but Wireshark origin (English [in details: "C"]). "Auto" sounds better in this case. Next question: currently Wiresharl fallback to "C" language. Should fallback to "English". As I remember translation from C to English is for tuning it. Additional question: Is English (*.ts) translation GB or US (or other)? By the way: Wireshark can be better than other software - it can have ability to change language in GUI. It is a feature. I will use that [often than preference like "auto scroll"] On 7 November 2014 00:45, Guy Harris <guy () alum mit edu> wrote:
