Welcome

In the future other languages will be added. COMODO is involved in many projects right now.

Should not be a top priority.

But glad to hear it coming. (thou I still would use it in English).

Well, I am Chinese American, and i would like a Chinese lanaguage Pack, because it would have the potential to spread CIS to Chinese people across the globe (Mostly USA, Canada, Britain, Australia, China and Singapore (Ironically the most Chinese People ABROAD are in English-dominating Countries.)) It would also HELP stop the security software cracks and keygen created by Chinese people, thus helping security companies to spend less on detecting these, and wasting man and resource doing so. You did not realize this, and the bottomline is that the Chinese people are wasting on the security companies in the long run. Not taking an intiative on free Security Software for all main language will setback the secured Internet Comodo hopes for, because the illegal method for obtaining these is cracks and keygens, and they are malware by themselves. Free is thwarted by Greed (End User greed or hunger of a security software) unless Free has all the main languages. Any Questions? Comments? Criticisms? Or Concerns?

Can you translate Chinese? Not sure, but I think you can still help COMODO with translations or whenever they start with adding more languages.

I wish i could, but I am born in US, and i do not know the more complex chinese (:SAD)

I disagree with this. If you want Comodo to be famous worldwide, you need to have the programs in diferent languages. I have no problems with english, but what about other people…

wuliyen from kafan bbs has made a translated version of CIS.
But it’s hard code and can not use the AV component.

I’m glad to hear the language pack coming.
Hope it will be available soon after the next version of CIS come to final state.

Melih has read this thread, It’s just a matter of time. And off course there are plans for language packs.

Cheers,
Josh

Good, hiring someone to do the translation can’t be that expensive either since its not so mouch text, in the GUI.
But maby the help files will take some time… Cash.

Anyway, I would probably be willing to double check the translation to Swedish. Free of course.

m00nbl00d:

I agree. It is a matter of usability, which is something Comodo is embranced on, to make it possible for CIS to be widely used. Not everyone knows english and not everyone who knows english, knows exactly what each word means. I don’t think that people will lose their time checking a dictionary for a specific term.

It is a task that will take time, to translate to the more languages possible, but it will be worth of it. It should be translated to the most important languages and which are used all over the planet: English (already is), French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese (this language is amazing and beautiful, I must say! and is used in so many parts of the globe, such as in African continent, European continent (Portugal (their native language), and not only, as a lot of people start to learn it), American continent (Brazil and other countries (communities, that is) and in some parts of Asian continent, specially over India (parts of it, at least). I think there would be the need for two Portuguese packs, though. European Portuguese (Portugal) and Brazilian. The way they write is a bit different.)

I believe these languages I just mentioned would have to be top priority. Then would follow others.

You missed a couple, but should be second-class priority: Russian, Japanese and Greek, and some Slavic Languages, African Languages, as third priority.

Post some Language Pack Maker recruiting post on the International Forum.

saad_alfraanah · February 27, 2009, 4:04am

I am ready for a translation to the Arabic language (:KWL)

peterpain · May 13, 2010, 2:12pm

how can I help in the translation to spanish? I install comodo internet security to my family members who only speak spanish and even though it is not that hard to understand what to do, I’d like to help with the creation of this language pack.

Cheers,

Pedro

You should contact the lead translator of Spanish language and ask if he needs any help. The main thread for translators is COMODO - CIS 4.0.x Localizations and there you can find more information.
