User provided translations

Beeftext runs natively in English, and an official French translation is provided, as the developer is French. But users in the community are kind enough to provide translations for their languages.

How to install a translation

1. Download the zip file for your language
2. Unzip the archived folder and copy it to the 'translations' subfolder of Beeftext. If you use the installer, this folder is typically located at %LOCALAPPDATA%\beeftext.org\Beeftext\Translations. You can also easily access this folder by opening the Preferences dialog in Beeftext and click on the Open Folder button in the Appearance tab.
3. Click on the Refresh button in the Appearance tab of the Preferences dialog.
4. The translation should now be available.

Why are these translations not included in the Beeftext distribution?

Two reasons for that:

1. The developer cannot evaluate the quality of the translation.
2. The translations need to be updated every time a new version of Beeftext is released. Having to wait for all translations to be completed would delay the release of the software.
