[WindowsNinetyTen]

Hello, I thought that this project could use translations for other languages, including:

Arabic
Esperanto
German
Italian
Korean
Russian
Turkish

I am currently working on Turkish translations.

Current language files available:

Chinese (Simplified) language file: contrib/translations/zh/zh_CN.lng

Chinese (Traditional) language file: contrib/translations/zh/zh_TW.lng

French language file: contrib/translations/fr/fr_FR.lng

German language file: contrib/translations/de/de_DE.lng

Japanese language file: contrib/translations/ja/ja_JP.lng

Korean language file: contrib/translations/ko/ko_KR.lng

Portuguese (Brazilian) language file: contrib/translations/pt/pt_BR.lng

Spanish language file: contrib/translations/es/es_ES.lng

Turkish language file: contrib/translations/tr/tr_TR.lng

The Korean language file is now available (which is the last CJK language option). As a result, all CJK languages now have their language files.

Hope more translations will be added too of course.

Could you leave out Russian and add Ukrainian instead?
Because the Russians are attacking Ukraine and are so violating human rights.

Surely the majority would agree that deleting Putin's ru.lng file from his DOSBox installation would be justified, the next time he lets you administer his PC.

But politicizing a translation file for all users? This would be a form of linguistic discrimination (also called glottophobia or linguicism) as it punishes those solely based on the language they speak, and nothing more (similar to punishing someone solely for the color of their skin).

Well said.

Well said indeed. Putin is not the same as all Russian users.
