You can use it on any language (as of the svn version), just the interface isn't localised.

As an aside. We have thought about it, and it would be a good idea. It just would require a lot of reworking of the code, and the interface changing to cater for the larger text aswell... Getting translators would be easy enough, i suspect.

I haven't found an easy to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/#Support non-standard Windows font PPI since the window resizing modes doesn't seem to have an "em" mode. The best I've been able to come up with is using dymaic layout boxes, but that tends to slows redrawing.

We now provide edit summaries in many languages and the set of rules are better localised for the various projects. I call for help in order to expand the localised edit settings to more languages.

We could integrate AWB with translatewiki.net (as programs as Huggle) has done. This would cause the interface to be in multiple languages.

Of course, just thinking of a way we could reach I18n. How to do it, is another problem.

Hello,
On Wikipedia in French, we recently raised the problem of the lack of inter-agencyization for the AutoWikiBrowser software. Is it possible to add an i18n system, for the AutoWikiBrowser software, which could be powered by translatewiki.net for example ?
Best regards,
Florian COLLIN

As per previous comments, yes it is possible. But it's not a small amount of work, and it needs people to have the time to actually work on it

Hello, and thanks for your answer,
If I may : what would be the process for an i18n installation on AutoWikiBrowser. So I will try to say it with my English : the code to insert, the pages to create if necessary...
Regards,
Florian COLLIN

There's different ways to do it in .NET, but I haven't actually ever had to do it. AWB isn't setup to allow this easily at all currently.
The code/UI needs migrating to loading strings from presumably a resource file or similar, and then those files being made available in some way to allow translation...

Potentially. I imagine there's a few different ways to do this
But there's still a lot of work to move all the strings into one place, and plumb them back in...
