Translating FileVista to other languages is pretty easy. Language files are simple XML files and kept under FileVista\languages and FileVista\FileVistaControl\languages folders. The first folder contains the languages of the administration pages and the other folder contains the languages of the main folder browsing page (ie. FileVistaControl). To create a new language file, make copies of en.xml in both folders and rename them to the standard language name. For instance, rename them to de.xml for German language. Edit the new xml files and translate each string element but do not modify the key attributes. If a string includes a place holder {0}, do not forget to include it in the translated string too. You can create language files also for specific cultures. For instance, you can create de-CH.xml for German in Switzerland. There is a fallback mechanism, FileVista will first look for the language file de-CH.xml and if the file is not found, it will load the general language file of that culture which is de.xml. Whenever you create a language file or modify an existing one, please restart the application (eg. via saving web.config) so that the changes take into effect.

We will appreciate if you send us the language files you created so that we can include them in the distribution package.
