Fernando, Thanks for your offer of help! I personally think multi-language support is very important.
I am writing a Java Freenet GUI which will (as far as I am aware) be part of the Freenet distribution in a future version when it is closer to being finished. It is in the Freenet/client/gui directory in the Freenet CVS. Internationalization is definitely on the to-do list, and I can bump it up in priority for you. If you haven't done i18n in Java before, it's easy: All you do is take the English (default) file (called something like GUIResources.properties), copy it to GUIResources_es.properties, and translate all the messages. If you use non-ASCII characters, you then have to run it through Java's 'native2ascii' utility, to convert non-ASCII characters into '\uXXXX' form (X=hex digit). This ensures that the file will work under all local encodings. When Java runs, it automatically picks up the file for the right language, depending on your operating system settings. Currently GUIResources.properties doesn't exist, but I will create it next time I have a chance to do some Freenet work. There will be messages added to it regularly as development continues.
