As discussed earlier bloating the (2.4) installers with NDIS5 drivers is 
not worth it. NDIS5 driver is only aimed for Windows XP, and we have 
dropped XP support in OpenVPN 2.4 already. Also, OpenvPN 2.3 will see 
fewer and fewer fixes as 2.4.x releases stabilize. Eventually 2.3 will 
go into "high severity security fixes only"-mode, like 2.2 did several 
years ago.

So let's not beat the dead horse (NDIS5) anymore :).

This makes sense. Any plans on how you're going to do it?

Another internationalization aspect we could improve is how we store 
translations for OpenVPN-GUI. Editing the resource files directly is 
clumsy and error-prone, as the files contain lots of "stuff" that is not 
meant to be translated. A simple key-value file would be much easier, 
although in OpenVPN-GUI's case the hardcoded window sizes make this more 
complex.

Also I'm not sure how easy it would be to separate the translatable 
strings into a separate file. I would guess that the actual .res files 
could be generated on the fly from a template and the key-value file by 
the build scripts.
