    Translate instructions:
    I’ve tried to make it as easy as possible to make a translation of Kantaris.The translation files are located inside the language folder in the kantaris folder. For example: “C:\Program Files\Kantaris\Languages”. They are regular .txt files and can be opened with notepad. Filename should be [country code]-[native country name].txt for example sv-Svenska.txt, or en-English.txt. You can get the country codes by looking at the flags in the Kantaris\flags directory. Check the sv-Svenska.txt for what is needed to be translated.  The text inside the ‘[' and ']‘ is the text that should be translated. A example:
    [Open file to play]=Öppna fil för uppspelning
    [original text]=translated text

    Ones done, send the file to me in an e-mail

    Blame it on Vista User Account Control (UAC)

    I hate UAC and you probably do too if you have tried to install Kantaris 0.5.5 or 0.5.6 in the “program files” directory on a Vista system with UAC activated. I still don’t know why UAC wouldn’t let Kantaris run from that directory but I’ve changed a few thing I could think of and now Kantaris 0.5.7 runs fine.
