PimpBot 1.3
a beta-version to the next major release is available here

the new features:
* multilingual scripts
* milkdrop support
* added icon resources

the new pimpbot should work with all NSIS 2 versions from RC1 on, the setup comes with RC2. this version should be pretty much final, but i'm waiting for some more translations to be done (japanese, dutch, russian, finnish, swedish are in the making). also i consider waiting for the final version of NSIS.

however, this version should work well. if there are mistakes with translations or of any other kind, let me know!

It just annoys me to read hollandisms like "plaatje" instead of "afbeelding" ;). Also, many custom made dutch translations translate too literally, rather than looking at how existing dutch programs do it.
For example, in english commands are almost always in imperative ("Copy", "Paste", "Attach...") while in Dutch, infinitives are almost always used ("Kopiƫren", "Plakken", "Toevoegen...")

The reverse (translating to english) also happens: yesterday I saw an install program mention a "disk cost", obviously meaning "required harddrive space".
