Version 3.7.6 Available for Testing

You can update your BBO to 3.7.6 at:

www.bridgebase.com/beta376/bbo_update.exe

Or download everything (including the files for 3.7.6)
from scratch through:

www.bridgebase.com/beta376/bbo_setup.exe

I suggest you use the first method.

The big exciting thing about 3.7.6 is that it is multilingual.
In theory this version will detect if your PC is set to one
of the following languages:

English
French
Spanish
Italian
Polish
Romanian
Czech
German

and, if it is, the vast majority of what you see during a
typical BBO session will appear in your language.

You can also manually set the language to any of the
above through the Options dialog box (use the toolbar
button that looks like a gear to access this).

There are some things that will appear in English:

- Everything that is a bitmap (including the pictures in the
dialog box that appears when BBO is first launched, the
buttons on the toolbar, our "banner ads", etc...)

- Everything that comes from a file on the server (the
text of the lobby news, contents of Bridge Library and
Online Store, Bridge Master movies, etc...).

You will also notice that there are some places in which the
translation does not fit properly. We will try to work on this,
but it may be slow. The interface was designed for English
and sometimes there is no good way to add enough screen
space to allow for longer translations to be displayed.

This was a huge project and a lot of people were involved.
Chances are some mistakes have been made. Please let us
know if you find any translations that appear to be either
missing or incorrect. Some of the languages we are releasing
are still being worked on. New versions of languages (And
new languages) will be released when they are ready.

Thanks to all of our translators for their excellent and speedy
work! If you are interested in working on a languages that
we do not currently support, please feel free to volunteer!

We are not sure when we are going to release a new version
to the general public, but we hope to do this within the next
couple of weeks.
