David is correct--if you translate more than half of the Windows Installer
strings in your .po file, then the language will be an available option in the
installer language selector.  Selecting a language there will cause Pidgin to
run in the selected language.

The 50% requirement is imposed by the perl script we use to extract installer
strings from the .po files.  We could trivially change this, but in my opinion,
forcing translators to translate enough to create an installer that's actually
useful in a given language is a good thing.
