Since the OS version 2.1 Amiga has had an unique feature called 
localization. Localization is the process by which software dynamically 
adapts to different locales. A locale is made up of a set of attributes 
describing a language, a set of cultural and lingual conventions, a 
physical location, etc.

Localization is accomplished through a locale.library which utilizes 
language drivers, the country database and catalog files. An application 
using the locale.library can be easily localized on any language with one 
of the several utilities available for that purpose. But what about 
programs not using the locale.library - the old ones? Can they be 
translated?

The answer has been so far a strict 'NO', but because of BFLocalizer 
(Brute Force Localizer), we may now answer 'YES'.

BFLocalizer modifies binary program files, or any type of files, directly 
(comp. catalog files) by replacing the old text strings with new ones - 
with the translated ones. You cannot have the advanced locale.library 
services but at least you can use the program with your own language.

The BFLocalizer is a freeware [AMITY] product.
