The release of SmallTime 1.8.8 is planned for September 7th, 2024. The main feature of this release will be support for running the app in different languages. This does include both text translation and date formats specific to a language. The initial release of this feature is a bit crude in some areas, for example, it does not play very well with long German words, but this will be addressed in the next releases. 

When you install the next release of SmallTime, you will find a translation manual in the installation directory. Most of the world’s languages should be supported, however, due to the technical limitations, there is still no support for Chinese characters, which should be addressed somewhere in the 2.0.0 release. Also, translations for languages of nations that are not internationally recognized may not be supported. However, I will be able to implement the support for such language upon a customer request.

There was an awful lot of silence around the development this year, but throughout the next couple of months I will explain why. There is currently a lot of stuff going on in the background 🙂
