How to add a new language?
All texts of application you will find in Language.ini file. When you want to add a new language, copy English section in the end of this file and change her name (e.g. Deutch). Then translate right part of particular lines (behind equals). Finally you must add the name of new language (e.g. Deutch) to Languages section and assign number of language to variable Current in Language section. The result should be following:
[Language]
Current=3
[Languages]

....
[Deutch]
Variable1=Text to translate
....
VariableX=Text to translate
