Translating the interface of SuperMemo
With Toolkit : Options : Language : Localization table, you can quickly translate the entire interface of SuperMemo to your native language (only at the Beginner and Basic levels).

This is the procedure:
- Choose Toolkit : Options : Language

- Type the name of your language (e.g. Spanish)
- Choose Localization table
- In the column Translation, type in the translation of texts displayed in the column Original
- If necessary, select a localization font by clicking the Font button in the left-bottom corner of the localization table
- Choose OK and your translation will appear in the interface of the program
The translation file is a text file. It is kept at <SuperMemo folder>\TRANSLAT\<language>.tra
