I think I have implemented almost every of your (and other's) suggestions to this dialog (and as quickly as I could in parallel to my real life job), so I think this is not fair. > I find it strange that the "Preferred language" selector goes away > once > one has chosen a language.

If you click on a file, then the dialog will: * check whether the currently preferred language is available for this file. If so, this language will be selected as "File language" * If not, it is checked whether the file is available in the GUI language. If so, this language will be selected as "File language" * If not, the dialog will fallback to English, for which we (should) have a version in any case. As to "Preferred Language", I have added this since people (including you, IIRC) found it irritating to have an empty language combo if no item is selected. Since we cannot guess at this point which file will be selected (and thus which languages will be available), the combo consists of all languages we have for the files altogether. I called it "Preferred Language", since we cannot guarantee at this point that we can deliver this. And believe me, the whole thing is complex enough and costed my enough time to get it what I think is right. Hope this clarifies things. Jürgen
