Explorer++ is a native English language application, but International users have contributed translation DLLs which, when placed in the installation folder, present the menus, etc. in a different language.  The DLLs are not shipped with Explorer++, but may be downloaded from the translation page of Explorer++'s site at

http://www.explorerplusplus.com/translations

Once the DLLs are placed in the Explorer++ installation folder, the languages will appear as choices on the language drop-down (or drop-up!) control for this option.  You may need to install additional fonts, or East-Asian language support prior to using some alternate languages.

The translations are incomplete, but are an excellent start to the globalization of Explorer++.

As of this version, the status of translations available is as follows:

Notes:
  1. requires support for East Asian languages to be installed.  This installation is available from the Control Panel Regional and Language Options applet.

  2. requires installation of either the SinhalaTamil Kit (Windows XP) or possibly a Sinhala LIP (Language Interface Pack - Windows Vista/7, untested), available from Microsoft Sri Lanka.

For anyone wishing to aid in the effort, the source files (CSV - comma separated values, XLS - Excel spreadsheet) are available for download on the translation page; completing the missing portions and re-submitting would be welcome.
