Hi Kalpa It would be great to see some progress on L10n of ASCEND, although as you have seen, we haven't assigned it a particularly high priority. I'd be interested to get your thoughts on how you would go about that, or even to see some initial code contributions towards this end.
One issue is that we currently have text strings scattered through the C, C++ and Python code, so there are three layers to deal with. Another is that the modelling language itself uses a fair few keywords, all of them in English, like "ARE_THE_SAME" and "IS_A" and "MODEL" etc, and we can't internationalise those.
