Just press Shift+Ctrl+L within any window to call Localization Editor or create your own *.lng file based on the 'english.lng' file (see $(PostgreSQL Manager)\Languages folder to find it). We will be very grateful to anyone who send us a translation of 'english.lng' to his native language (we will provide each translator with a free PostgreSQL Manager copy)
