Description
In macOS some of the text is in english. I would like the text to be translatable or removed for a more fully translation of VirtualBox.
Running the dmg file the first i see is the image from VirtualBox/.background/vbox_folder.tiff with the text: "1 Double click on this icon:" "2 Run the VirtualBox application
from the Application Folder:"
Looking at other installers i have tried in macOS it seems they tend to use a way where you drag the icon to the application folder from left to right and then there might be an arrow suggesting what to do and some installations have no text. If this is the ways its done in macOS then perhaps VirtualBox install could do it the same way so its consistent with how its done in other software and then perhaps the english text can be removed.
When i double click the installer (VirtualBox.pkg) i see some text like: "Installer Oracle VM VirtualBox" "Installering af Oracle VM VirtualBox" "Oracle VM VirtualBox for Mac OS X" "Welcome to Oracle VM VirtualBox 5.2.22 for Mac OS X! This installer..."
It seems to be from CoreServices/Installation so maybe the installer is already translated by Apple and then VirtualBox have added some strngs that is not translatable. I would like the strings to be translatable.
VirtualBox.pkg contains the files: Ressources/en.lproj/Welcome.rtf Ressources/en.lproj/Localizable.strings
Which contains the "Welcome to Oracle VM..." string and other strings.
There are only the en.lproj folder so i guess its not translated to any other language.
