<br>
<br>We will be proceeding in the same format for supporting
<br>multi-languages in vtiger CRM 5 as in the previous releases. We have not been able to implement the gettext mechanism in this release due to logistical and technical issues.
<br>
<br>We did look into ways and means of integrating the stuff that mikecrowe had provided but have decided to drop it for now.
<br>
<br>Those interested in the language fixes can checkout the code base by tomorrow night and start testing the same.
<br>The inputs are most welcome.
<br>I would personally be very happy if the Beta comes out with complete i18n support, nothing like it!
<br>
<br>We are working on removing all the hard-coded strings in the product and hope to have them all removed by tomorrow night India Time.
<br>
<br>I know, I am reneging from my previous statement for supporting gettext but under the given circumstances, I think this is the right thing to do.
<br>
<br>Requesting your understanding,
<br>
<br>Thanks,

<br>
We have not made much progress in v5 with respect to the muli-language support.<br>
We need help. <br>
<br>
Please do suggest approaches for the same as well.<br>
<br>
We had been initially working on mikecrowe's contribution but we are not able to get<br>
in touch with him for sometime now so the job is still incomplete.<br>
