Hello swiszczoo
winpinator is great and I love it. In order to support your project I translated it into German. I'm not a programmer and this is my first time I translated a program. So please let me know if it works and if you have any issues with it, drop a note.
de-DE.zip

Thank you very much for your great work.

Hello swiszczoo
I changed the language files from de to de_CH and added the translation of the installer.
Hope it's of any use.

Thanks, I added it into the develop branch so it will be included in the next release.

Hi Be-Se, you can check if everything is as it should be with your German translation by downloading one of the artifacts from this page and simply running the installer (uninstallation is not required). I see some encoding issues in my full name in the About... dialog but that's my fault :)

I also added both German and German (Switzerland) translations because I don't see any particular difference between language you used and Hochdeutsch, which I've been learning some time ago, especially when it comes to technical phrases. But I am by no means an expert so feel free to take a look at it and to give me some feedback.

Hello swiszczoo
Thank you for your feedback. I think you're right. Since Hochdeutsch is understood in Germany (de_DE), Austria (de_AT) and the German speaking part of Switzerland (de_CH), there is no need to have a translation for each of them. Therefore I suggest using just German (de) for the translation. So I changed the language string in the .po and .mo back from de_CH to de. I also changed a few translations to better reflect the context. See the attached zip file.
de_v0.1.3.2.zip

After downloading your zip file I tested the included exe file with virustotal.com. The outcome was 1 - SecureAge APEX - out of 67 virus scanner flagged it as malicious. Thought this fact might be interesting for you.

During the install I changed the language to German and the installation was since in German, which is a good thing. In the last step of the installation I choose to start winpinator after its beeing installed. Winpinator greeted me in English. I expected Winpinator to come up in German. That's not a big thing, but if you can change that behaviour easily then it would be great if you would do it.

Thank you for all your work.

Hi, thanks for your feedback, I'll definitely add that initial language setting after installing Winpinator, it looks so simple and easy to implement that I probably simply overlooked it.

And yes, I know that virustotal doesn't like my installers, the x86 version is even flagged by 2 AVs. However, there are many reports on the internet suggesting that SecureAge APEX shouldn't be treated too seriously because it's AI-based and very often likes to overestimate potential threats.
