<p>Basically yes.<br>
IIRC we discussed this a couple of years ago and abandoned the idea.</p>
<p>My concerns:</p>
<ul>
<li>more overhead in maintaining Windows builds (none of the Geany developers actively use Windows)</li>
<li>more work for the translators for a rather small target user group</li>
<li>the installer is pretty basic and most of the texts are very common and so probably can be read/understood even by non-English speaking people or at least the installer can be used successfully</li>
</ul>
<p>Adding the NSI translations only would be an easy task, of course. One could argue so we have at least most of the texts translated. I would argue it would result in a half-translated installer with mixed languages. This is in my experience much more annoying than a complete English localized software.</p>
<p>Anyway, if you think we should add it, feel free to open a PR.</p>
