Thanks for updating!

Is there a chance for doing a multilingual package of Miranda? That would ease up the installation for non-English users ... At the moment they have to look for langpacks offsite.

Miranda IM itself comes as English only. Always has. So Miranda IM Portable does to. It's always up to the end user to configure it. Miranda IM is "Do It Yourself".

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
