Hi!
Christophe what about the files asterisms.dat and all the others
in celestia/data.I cant change the english words and put in their place
the greek ones (although I save the files as utf 8 ).The greek words dont
appear in the viewscreen.
Should I include them in el.po?(just a thought)

Thanks a lot for your time.

KGeorgiou.

Solar system objects (solarsys.ssc) and Earth locations (earth_locs.ssc) are already included and should appear translated.

Constellation names are included in a secondary catalog file (from the po2 directory), and use of localized names is optional but to my knowledge there is no way to toggle that option in the Windows interface yet.

It is still possible to switch to localized constellations with cel urls:
Localized constellation names / Latin constellation names
