<h1>About Pidgin</h1>

<p>Pidgin is a chat program which lets you log in to accounts on multiple

chat networks simultaneously. This means that you can be chatting with

friends on Jabber/XMPP, talking to a friend on Google Talk, and sitting in an IRC

chat room all at the same time.</p>

<p>Pidgin runs on Windows, Linux, and other UNIX operating systems.

<p>Pidgin is compatible with the following chat networks out of the box:

Google Talk, Jabber/XMPP, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, IRC, Novell GroupWise Messenger,

Lotus Sametime, SILC, SIMPLE, and Zephyr. It can support many

more with plugins.</p>

<p>Pidgin supports many features of these chat networks, such as file

transfers, away messages, buddy icons, custom smilies, and typing

notifications. Numerous plugins also extend Pidgin's functionality above and

beyond the standard features.</p>

<p>Pidgin integrates with the system tray on Windows, GNOME2, KDE 3, and

KDE 4.</p>

<p>Pidgin is under constant development. Releases are usually frequent and

driven by user contributions, such as <a href="/support/">bug reports</a> and

<a href="https://developer.pidgin.im">patches</a>.</p>

<p>Pidgin is free and contains no ads. All our code is open source and

licensed under the GNU General Public License. This means you can get Pidgin's

underlying code and modify it to suit your needs, as long as you publish the

changes you make for everyone to benefit from as well.</p>

<h2>Supported Languages</h2>

<?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/../inc/langdetect.inc"); ?>

<p>Pidgin is translated into many different languages, thanks to the

generous contributions of our volunteer translators.

<?php if (strlen($language) > 0 && $language != "English") { ?>

You may be glad to know that Pidgin is already translated into

<strong><?php echo $language ?></strong>!

<?php } ?>

foreach (array_keys($languages) as $lang){

echo '<li>'.$languages[$lang].'</li>';

<p style="clear: both;">If your native language is missing from this list or

you've found that a translation contains errors, you can help us! Take a look
