+Status of Internationalisation and Language Support in WINE
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+May 29, 1999, Klaas van Gend
+
+
+Just like Windows, Wine must support several languages and
+localised settings for countries other than the US.
+Since the last module-loader re-organisation by Bertho,
+this involves several files which need to be adapted to
+support a certain language/region.
+
+
+Keyboard Settings:
+------------------
+Currently, the following keyboard layouts are available:
+US, UK, FR, DE, Swiss German, NO, DA, Swedish, Canadian French,
+PT, IT, FI, RU, ES, Belgian, Icelandic.
+Please refer to documentation/keyboard by Ove Kaaven on how
+to add more keyboard layouts.
+
+
+Locale Settings:
+----------------
+You can find the locale settings in ole/nls/ .
+Most languages have several locale settings for the various
+countries. See the ole/nls/README, documentation/languages and
+MSDN's localeconv.htm for documentation on the structure
+and sensible entries.
+
+
+SysRes = System Resources :
+---------------------------
+(System Menu, Edit Menu, MessageBox)
+ 10 denotes that all resources are localised
+ e denotes that the EditMenu is still in English
+ d denotes that the SYSMENU is lacking the 61762 debug entry in
+ either English or Regional language
+You can find these settings in resources/sysres_*.rc
+where * stands for your language code.
+Please use the English version (sysres_En.rc) as example.
+See documentation/languages by Morten Wilinder and Klaas van Gend
+on how to add another language.
+
+
+Shell32:
+--------
+ 1 SHELL_ABOUT_MSGBOX is in English, MENU_001, MENU_002 and
+ SHBRSFORFOLDER_MSGBOX are not present.
+ 2 SHELL_ABOUT_MSGBOX is translated, MENU_001, MENU_002 and
+ SHBRSFORFOLDER_MSGBOX are not present.
+ 10 all present and translated...
+According to Juergen Schmiedt, MENU_001 and MENU_002 are not
+yet complete and shouldn't be translated yet.
+
+
+Common Dialog boxes:
+--------------------
+OFN = CommonDialogs' File Dialog
+FR = CommonDialogs' Find & Replace Dialogs
+CC = CommonDialogs' Choose Colour Dialog
+CF = CommonDialogs' Choose Font Dialog
+PD16 = CommonDialogs' 16 bit Print Dialog
+PSD = CommonDialogs' Page Setup Dialog
+PD32 = CommonDialogs' 32 bit Print Dialog
+ 10 denotes: ok ?
+ 5 denotes: available, but not in current layout
+ -- denotes: not available.
+Please note that the Print32 dialog box is still under development,
+so do not translate it yet.
+See documentation/languages on how to add another language.
+
+
+Programs:
+---------
+Several of the Winelib-based programs in programs/* contain their own
+resources, which can be internationalised.
+Check the appropriate files and subdirectories for instructions on
+how to add additional languages.
+Note that currently the Swedish files are named "Sw.rc" where they
+should be called "Sv.rc".
+
+
+
+At this moment (May 29, 1999), the following is supported:
+
+(10 = max support, 0 = very bad/broken support, empty = no support)
+(note that I only looked into the source, I did not try to run the various languages)
