this is a problem for me. the exe will grow the more localizations we have and i want to avoid that.

but you could outsource the localizations and make them optional for download. what do you think?

  1. When starting the program, offer a list of languages, and if the user chooses, download it from the Internet and run the program with this localization.
    • What if there is no connection to the Internet?
    • Should we make the code more complicated?

It is easier to build it into an executable file. The size of your localization file is very small. Apply compression.

no win11 😁 the language file for ReadySunValley is not needed then either

i like it 😁 um...sometimes

i would suggest to continue like this until we don't have some more localizations on board. if there should be more than 10, then we should think about something.
