Hehe - It’s not like I translated it.

But, I’m happy to say that turning on the translation was simply
a matter of dropping in the translated .PO file I was sent,
throwing the right TTF font in the right place, and letting Tux Paint
know that the Chinese locale needs its own font.

And voila! :^)

Hehe… That’s the plan… for translations at least.

BTW, if anyone’s interested in the code that I wrote to handle the UTF-8
encoded strings, feel free to check out the Tux Paint source.
(Sorry it’s all in one big C file… a bad habit of mine :^) )
