Translations of CVI runtime messages - msgrte.txt

Status: New

It would be great if NI could provide standard translations of the NI runtime message file msgrte.txt in commonly-used languages.

 

Whilst we can get translations done ourselves, it is normally done by translators who have little knowledge of the runtime context so the quality is rather variable; also, I get the feeling that we are duplicating effort that may have been already spent elsewhere.

 

If it helps, I for one would be willing to pay for a decent translation.

Personally I find translations of error messages extremely counter-productive. Case in point, I'm being forced by my admins to use a localized WinXP. I would prefer it in english, but MS sells only local versions. When an error message comes up, searching for it on google usually leads to 100 times less hits than in english, so I'm often left guessing at what the english version of the error may be, and searching for it.
