support for other (non-english) language
does GPG support any languages other than english?
using pgp, i'm able to define an alternative
language for help messages, error messages etc.

(i'm using GPG ver. 0.9.0; and i've read the man
pages, option file, visited the website, searched
the searchable places... please re-direct me
to a more appropriate forum if this is not a
suitable question for this list).

if GPG doesn't support alt. 'language files',
what is the likelihood that this may happen
in future?

i appreciate that there may be more important
issues to deal with in developing GPG at
present, and acknowledge i'm new to using the
software.

cheers,

It already supports German, French, Italian, Spanish (the dialect from
Spain), Brasilian Portuguese, Polish and Russian....

It's set the same way other software sets it:

[thorin:~] 11:21:07am 108 % setenv LANG pt_BR
[thorin:~] 11:21:13am 109 % gpg --help
gpg (GnuPG) 0.9.0a

ALL_LINGUAS="de es_ES fr it pl pt_BR ru"

So we have 7 alternate languages for now.

Try:

$ LANG=it
$ export LANG
$ gpg --help

and in the case you favorite language is not supported add a
translation. Take a look at po/gnupg.pot and e.g. po/fr.po and you
will see, how easy it is to translate programs.

Gruss,
