Localization

[jester]

Are there any plans for localizations of the software? Although I'm
quite fluent in English and normally don't mind using English software
it annoys me while writing in German to constantly switch back to and
fro. I consider buying the software, however, this still keeps me from
doing so.

Jason,
I love the idea of posting potential enhancement to the website. And
thanks for the last enhancements that allowed easier sequencing to
drag & drop of factors and categories to cards instead of going
through the drop down menu.

Here are three possibilities for new enhancements:
1) Enable an individual card size to go up to fill the entire screen
while in project & explore so we can see as much as possible of the
text while dragging and dropping factors and categories to cards.
2) Enable this drag and drop feature to go both ways, eg: remove a
category or factor from a card.
3) Have a window into which we could past photographs. Having photos
of people, places and things is often very helpful to writing about
them, whether in fiction or non-fiction.

Lastly, what does the dialog box actually measure on a card? When I
click on the metric I see a spike in a card that has a little dialog
on it and a lot of narrative, but other cards that have lots of dialog
do not seem to register. I can't find anything in the documentation
to help me out with this.

BTW, I've created a Table of Contents for the documentation. Would
you like me to send it to you?

Thanks for all the work.

Nick
