Re: [Zenmap] Translations need updating!

Hi list,

I've finished Zenmap Chinese Mandarin(zh) translation and it works well on
my machine(both Ubuntu 14.04 x64 Desktop and Windows 7).

During my translation work, i found several problems that occurs on a
Chinese operating system:

1. Chinese date format displays not very well in Scan Details
widget,following Started on: Finished on:


​

2. some texts are not included in the zenmap.pot , so you can't translate
it.

I have tranlated almost all of the strings in zenmap.pot, except those
jargon ,like: IP, TCP and so on. I think that when it comes to technology
expressions, English can be more precise and concise than other languages,
maybe it's because the translation is not that good. So when i read some
developer documentations, i prefer the English(original) version, and there
are many people in non-English-speaking nations feel the same way I do.

In this case, I think Zenmap can add a language-choose button to let the
user choose which language will Zenmap use. I write a simple patch to
implement this.

Actually, what i want is when user had click the language button he wants,
Zenmap could change its language immediately, but this patch can only
change the widgets' language which start after the click. I'm reading
pygtk's documentations and try to figure out that, redraw all the widgets
maybe?

I have just begun learning Nmap's source code and still don't understand
the whole structure well. This patch,maybe useless, is just a presentation
of my idea.


Please , feel free to give any comment, you guys' suggestions are so
important to me.
