My Topic disapproved

Post by AndyChung »

I recently posted an article on betaarchive about Windows Vista 5112 Chinese Language Pack (Unoffical), but it was rejected (see screenshot of the post here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10sOsXn ... tUWjJFztNG /view?usp=sharing), I think system localization does not violate the forum’s posting regulations, and can make people in more regions know Windows Beta, so I think my post is meaningful, and I sincerely ask the administrator/moderators to Please review my post and let it appear in the forum, thank you.

It was rejected for that very reason, "unofficial". I.e a custom hack with unknown sources for the files.

So you are right, system localization isn't against the forum rules, but we don't promote custom hacks or mods and we try to stick to the original releases as we can't validate how original these custom mods are (are the language files from the same build, or mods from a different one? etc). So we stay clear of them in general.

OK, thank you for your reply.
