International localization support

Traditionally, software developers release separate versions of their products in different languages. I realized that there is a way of maintaining one version of the program which will localize itself automatically using Google Translate. The free Google Translation service allows you to download translations into any of more than fifty languages!

Of course, there will always be some things that automatic translation doesn't get right. So you can use the new Language window to view a list of the native English phrases, and edit your own translations in the language of your choice. You can have any number of different dictionaries or localizations, and switch among them very easily.

Go to ShotDriver's Preferences to select your desired localization. Then relaunch the program. If you have an internet connection, the translations will download automatically. Go to ShotDriver's Language window to watch that process.
