When you select another language in Options dialog, it seems that in message box that is pops up after that, caption and message text are messed.

BOINC 4.72

Ah I see what you mean. Yes, it is. The text at the top bar says:

"The BOINC Managers default language has been changed, in order for this change to take effect your must r..."

I can r... ?? ;)

This message could be a lot smaller, in my opinion. How about:

"The BOINC Manager's default language has changed. Exit and restart it to make the change."

And why not add a kill option to the OK button? That way you could say "Press OK to make the changes have effect" in the big window area that no only has Language Options...

Which languages are you all using?

I'm using the default English and was testing it for Nikolay going to Dutch.

I tested it with Russian and English. All others are some.
Problem is here in MainFrame.cpp source file:
void CMainFrame::OnToolsOptions(wxCommandEvent& WXUNUSED(event)){
...
if (m_iSelectedLanguage != pDlg->m_LanguageSelectionCtrl->GetSelection()) {
ShowAlert(
_("The BOINC Managers default language has been changed, in order for this change to take affect you must restart the manager."),
_("Language Selection..."),
wxICON_INFORMATION
);
}
...
}

The first param of the function is a title of message, and second one is a message.
Should be:

if (m_iSelectedLanguage != pDlg->m_LanguageSelectionCtrl->GetSelection()) {
ShowAlert(
_("Language Selection..."),
_("The BOINC Managers default language has been changed, in order for this change to take affect you must restart the manager."),
wxICON_INFORMATION
);
}

My default language was Danish, but I changed it to US English, as I'm used to see it (couldn't get used to the Danish terms! ;-) ).

But either the message should be shorter or the message box should be larger.

}

This should be fixed in the next release.
