Was there ever any discussion about internationalized versions of this file? I
was thinking that we could support various languages like this:
0 !COLOUR CODE 0 VALUE #212121 EDGE 8
0 !COLOUR NAME en 0 Black
0 !COLOUR NAME fr 0 Noir
0 !COLOUR NAME de 0 Schwarz
and so on...

BTW, I prefer the color edge lines as well.

Well, we *did* change it from "0 !COLOR" to "0 !COLOUR" to honor the
austrailian roots of the ldraw system. Does that count?

Actually, Steve's idea of listing multiple versions of the config file
in the ldraw.ini would handle this better. Then the fr and de folks
could rename things and release ldconfig.fr.ldr and ldcfgalt.de.ldr
and such. I think that's how it's handled for MLCAD help files.

Hah! That proves I'm not a nutcase!
Have fun,

To be honest, I don't remember for sure, but I doubt it.
My general standpoint on these kinds of things is that LDraw is a 3D-library,
not a database. And language issues are (mostly) outside the scope of the
library.
However, I think Don had a good suggestion.

How about combining, steve's, andrew's, and your earlier idea with
something like:
[Configurations]
# FILE Config Name LOCALE
0=ldconfig.ldr default EN
1=ldcfgalt.ldr ldlite EN
2=ldconfig_DE.ldr default DE
3=ldcfgalt_DE.ldr ldlite DE
4=ldconfig_FR.ldr default FR
.
.
.
This could allow an app to pick the first config file for the
current locale, and to offer a 'named' list of alternate configs
for the current locale. I suppose it could also allow the user to
choose a different locale if it wanted to.
