You missed the whole spiel I did on getting something similar to this into Dada Mail?

What I'm putting into Dada Mail will kick the system you described to the curb. To the curb! :)
> Adding new language files would be as easy as getting the translations.
Yup, read my thingy - they system I'm using has this too - except in my system, those files can be auto-updated, so when the program gets upgraded, so can the language files. If something is missing, the program doesn't break, either.
What I wrote gets technical, but to people who are doing the translation, it's just file they need to read and translate.
I'm currently working to get the program in shape, John, to make this happen, but it def. doesn't happen over night. The first step is to actually get Dada Mail to work with different character sets, since it doesn't, right now. The next step is to normalize some of the text in the program - and shorten it too, so translation is easier. After that, I have to make all the text that needs to be translated and then, I have to do a translation myself, to show how its done (and to make sure it works). A lot of work.
> Another way would be to use a database to store the various translations and query it for the translation terms. I've not done it this way, but just thinking about it, I think I would prefer it.
The system I'm putting in place supports this too, if someone is to be so bold. I don't think I'll be shipping Dada Mail with the translations like that, though.

This mailing list is to discuss the nerdy programming development of Dada Mail -
If you are just looking for support Dada Mail, consult the message boards at:
http://dadamailproject.com/support/boards
To post to this list, send a message to:
dadadev@dadamailproject.com
All subscribers of this list may post to the list itself.
Some on topic... topics include:
- Positive Crits on the program (I like, "x", but, "y" needs some work - here's an idea on how to make this better...)
- Bug/Error reports
- Bug fixes
- Request For Comments on any changes to the program
- Help customizing Dada Mail for your own internal needs
- Patches
- Language Translations
- Support Documentation/Doc editing, FAQ's, etc.
- Discussion of any changes that you would like to be committed to the next version of Dada Mail -
At the moment, there aren't many people with CVS access for Dada Mail - if you would like CVS access, please first talk about the changes you propose and how it will affect the program. If the idea is sound and agreed upon, the change will be comitted. A good track record of this will allow you to have CVS access. Some reasons that patches will not be accepted is if the patch breaks compatibility with a previous version of the program, the patch is too centric to your own problem or the patch simply isn't very good.
Please, please please familiarize yourself with the documentation at:
http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation/
Since no one wants to answer the same question twice.
Another sneaky reason for this mailing list is to test out the discussion list capabilities of Dada Mail, since Dada Mail is used for the mailing list itself.
NOTE - because of this, there may be times that this list will be somewhat broken. Although we're not planning on breaking the program by using it, we're giving you the heads up that this may well happen anyways.
