I try to make my software as universally usable as possible. In the case of GuitarChords, this is relatively easy because hey, music IS a universal language. However, in the case of UpcomingBirthdays, the translation becomes a bit more difficult. So I’d like to resolve this issue by adding localizations to the widget.
The only problem is that I’m an ignorant American who has no mastery of any language other than English (and even that’s pretty bad sometimes). So I need your help. Below I’m going to list all of the strings that need to be translated within the widget. If you send me a translation within the next 30 days, then I’ll include it in the next version of the widget. Also, if you have any cultural icons you think make more sense than the cake with candle, then send that along too and I’ll see what I can do.
Here are the strings. Whenver the strings contain [brackets] that implies there is a variable that gets inserted within the brackets.
UpcomingBirthdays
[NUMBER] days ago [NAME] turned [AGE]
Yesterday [NAME] turned [AGE]
TODAY [NAME] turns [AGE]
Tomorrow [NAME] turns [AGE]
In [NUMBER] days [NAME] turns [AGE]
Look [time period*] days in the future
Look [time period*] in the past

Send the translations to will at wubbahed dot com. Thanks.
**UPDATE**
I forgot to include some strings in my original post. Here they are:
