I totally agree with this. Even if I am afraid that it will be never the case, it would be nice if nvidia settings tool became translatable.

This is less of an issue now that Nvidia support RandR so that the screen can be managed from the normal settings tools.

As far as I'm concerned this is on the windows side translated into 52 languages. at least.

Tried to open a bug-report against nVidia, already ? Try it! How is situation in OpenSuse or Fedora :-)

These translations are already there they just don't get packaged, here. Let's just call this legendary league,

So, Ubuntu is interested in gathering into new big markets like India and China. Wondering how their acceptance on missing localisation is? And I am not talking about left2right languages that presumably present an even higher number than native english speakers.

It took some years to have localised 'search-providers' in the beloved Firefox.

Put it on 100 papercuts.

looked into copyright (via http://packages.qa.debian.org/n/nvidia-settings.html):

Says it's GPL-2, therefore removed tag eq "proprietary"

Really wonder how the situation is on the other BIG5 of the Linux distros: Open Suse, Fedora, +++ ?

Probably it would just need a little questionare on Nvidai's Linux-Forum:

https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/98/

Who knows, may be they could easily be merged from the W$-version side?

Speaking in Open Source Terms, this way the benefit would "hit" a wider audience... =:;D
