I've posted a pre-release of KeePass Portable 1.11 for folks to test out. This new release introduces multilingual support. I'm including French, Italian and German (our currently supported languages) as well as Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Spanish (the next languages we'll be officially supporting) in the package. The launcher has also been updated to support the language auto-switching from the upcoming Platform release. To use it, create a text file called start.bat in your KeePassPortable directory and add the following:

SET PortableApps.comLocaleWinName=LANG_SPANISH

As was discussed in the recent OpenOffice.org Portable 2.4 Pre-Release topic, this package is designed to leave out most optional components that take up the most room like: help, UNO-Python bridge, non-English dictionaries, fonts (except OpenSymbol, which is small and required), etc. By leaving all the above out, we end up with a much lighter package with most of the functionality. For comparison:
