回复：foobar要是使用语言包就好了
两条从HA摘下来的讨论，代表了官方的观点：
In my opinion, there are several reasons why localized interface would not be much help to the users.
1.A good-quality translation is not at all easy to produce. The world ofdigital audio is mainly English-speaking, and some terms have simply nouniversally accepted translations. Personally, I find it hard to giverussian equivalents for things like 'sample', 'bit depth', 'noiseshaping', not to mention 'replaygain'.
2. Most advanced softwarerelated to audio comes without a localization. And for me, usingRussian and English interfaces at the same time means constantly tryingto figure which English term does this particular Russian word standfor. To add insult to injury, each piece of software tends to use itsown terminology. Given the vast amount of third-party componentsavailable for foobar2000, I would expect to see the same, only within asingle application.
3. Taking advantage of the more advancedfoobar2000 features like making your own title formatting stringsalready implies some basic knowledge of English.
I participatein several Russian audio-related forums. In my experience, the problemspeople have with foobar2000 would not be solved by translating theinterface. It's just as the FAQ puts it, a guide written in your nativelanguage would be much more useful.

简要翻译:
1. 优秀的本地化文件不易实现；数字音乐世界通用语言为英语
2. 许多优秀的音频软件无本地化；众多插件难以真正本地化
3. 使用foobar2000，并且能谈论其中一些高级特性，必定需要一些英语的基本知识
下面是Peter原话：
To start with, foobar2000 was never meant to be usable for everyone.
Wesimply don't care whether specific userbase finds it useful or not. Wewould probably care if we earned money from it, but we don't, and don'tplan to as it would ruin too many good aspects of the project.
There'splenty of other players around, I don't see why people who don'tunderstand our UI as-is have to use foobar2000. I guess it's a problemfor some fanboys who want to convert everyone in the world to usefoobar2000, but that doesn't mean it's worth our (unpaid) work time towrite and then maintain with each new version.
Other than that, I fully agree with Moneo's reply earlier in this thread.
Translation support is not planned.
Again, if you don't like our decisions, you are free (and encouraged) to use one of other players instead.

简要翻译：
首先，foobar2000并不适合所有人。
我们并不关心是否用户群认为它是否有用。我们只可能关心我们是否能从中获取金钱利益，但是事实上，我们并没有。我们不会计划支持本地化因为仍然有许多特性等待我们去做。
现在有很多其它播放器，我不知道为什么不喜欢foobar2000界面的人有必要使用它。我猜对于一些来说转化世界上所有人都用foobar2000的爱好者来说这确实是一个问题，但是那并不代表值得在每次发布新版本时花空余时间维护。
如果你不喜欢我们的决定，你可以自由的选择其它播放器代替。
