Are you referring to the wiki ? (if so you can PM me with a valid email and I'll set you up with translation privileges)

I just have one comment regarding name version 0.20 or 0.2 or 0.17. When I promote this software in my design areas - work / job partners / friends they think: "hmm 0.12, 0,15 - probably some super alfa version with thousand bugs"...
Well, dont know if officially is in beta, but its not rock solid yet. I would not promote it in any other environment than hobby projects.

"Not rock solid" doesn't say much. Please describe the issues in detail so that they can either be fixed, or at least documented.

This must be fixed. However, it's a packaging problem and since there are many ways to configure the doc directory it's probably best to build the file as a Qt resource so that it's part of the shared library.

This looks as a great idea. ;)

Of course I had reported some bugs, but year after year every time I use the software for a couple of hours some issue arises or something annoyed has not been fixed for years for example the comma/dot conversion in decimal measure input.

I had high expectations with the 0.2 release but now that realthunders code is going to be merged in 0.21 I will have to wait to that version to give free cad a real go again

The only reason that file was put in Docs in the first place was because it seemed like an easy solution for making sure it was getting installed. Since that is not in fact the case, it probably doesn't belong there anymore. I can compile it into a resource, I think that's a great solution. Do you have a preference about whether the text file gets put at the top level, or down with the other Gui resources?

Maybe create a new "text" folder at the root and place credits and license inside it ?
