Language-dependent text in Greenstone
For your information and interest, the language-dependent text in Greenstone comes in these places. We do not attempt to translate the comments that appear in program code, scripts, or configuration files. Our guideline is that non-programming users doing standard things with Greenstone should be able to work entirely in their own language.

Installation
Unix: Text in install.sh and setup.bash. We do not translate text strings that appear during the configuration process (./configure), because people installing programs on Unix usually do so using English.
Windows: Text in the InstallShield installer used for Greenstone, and setup.bat. InstallShield comes with many different languages, and we are not responsible for these translations.
Both: The install.txt file
Licence
The GNU General Public Licence is written in English, and official translations into other languages do not exist. However, an unofficial translation is appended to the licence text that is presented during the installation process.
