Could you release a version that allows users to translate it themselves?
Mr. Simon! I'm curious about how this software could be localized into Chinese. Would that involve a massive workload? Perhaps a better approach might be to release a special edition that allows each purchaser to do their own translation — that way you wouldn't need to invest your own time and effort into it.

Hi! I've looked into translation, and yes it is a massive job - even just to prepare everything ready for someone else to translate.

I am going to include support for Chinese in the next version of Curvy. It is a big change - but should be worth it in the end - watch this space

I am rewriting Curvy to support different languages - here is an early proof of concept rendering in various alphabets:
