The message shown above in the "pipermail" mail archive is a response I made to someone asking for help to the translate Limewire mailing list.
We have received several similar requests on the translate list, so use this response as a reference. After this response, I did not receive further requests for help.
It's probable that Limewire should change the location of the "Change language" option, from the "View" menu where it is not enough visible or accessible, to an icon button near the Limewire logo, that, when pressed, would display a dialog window querying the user for which language to select.
This dialog window should list languages in a scrolling list, and the user should have to press OK to select it effectively, or the user could cancel or close the window.
This would avoid selecting the "change language" menu option by error when dragging the mouse over the menus.
I suggest that this icon button displays a small flag for the current language, or a single icon showing several flags.
The look of this "flags" icon button would also help users that did not select initially the proper language, without having to decipher and search through translated menus.... |
