Thank you for your suggestion. I believe it could be beneficial not only for Italian users but also for users from other countries, as this work will pave the way for other GUI languages.

The first step would be to map all the different English texts in the GUI app.

Thanks everyone!

@mega5800 For implementation, I am assuming these new languages would just be new resx files added to git and the msbuild project and would be compiled to .resources files and distributed with the binaries. Is that correct or are you thinking something else?

and this will only affect GUI right?

[mega5800]

Hello @activescott.

I will use resx files to support different languages based on user’s locale. I will create a default file for English and another file for Italian. This change will only effect the GUI, as bovirus requested.

In the meantime, are there any other languages you’d like to add to the GUI?

Thank you.

[activescott]

Sounds Great! Thank you for your efforts!

Hello @bovirus.

Any updates regarding the Italian texts I requested?

Sorry for delay. I wrote the translation but seems disapperated.

@bovirus, thank you for your help.

I believe I got all the necessary Italian texts and already created a pull request for @activescott to examine. You can view some screenshots of the Italian GUI in the pull request message.
