Fact
For other languages particularly Chinese, Japanese, I meet great difficulties due to the number of characters (glyphs) to use. I need a serious helping hand to successfully translate into languages that use more than 256 characters (512 maximum). In this case, must select characters to insert them into one or two fonts of 256 characters to be created on demand. For that, I need to know the characters to use. I repeat 512 characters ... Is this possible ???

I found on the internet the names of constellations for different languages.
I translated the rest as I could, using several online translators.
Many translations were made through the google language tool.
As everyone knows, the translations are imperfect and require many corrections.
You can help me correct translation ...
I hope that others will join us to add or correct translations.
However :
WARNING !
The programming language chosen is limited by the number of characters.
If a person wanted to help the community by providing a translation or
correction, it is imperative to work with a standard font 256 characters.
Unicode fonts are not usable in this programming language.
I got on the web a number of True Type fonts usable.
I can provide them with the texts to be translated into French, English and
German.
Contact me by clicking on the animated bottom left guy.

It is necessary to perfectly master the language used
in the translated language for the good of the community.
I release any liability in translations made by third parties.
