<h2>Features Overview</h2>
<h3>Streamlined Localized User Interface</h3>

<p>Luminance HDR is available in the following languages:</p>
<ul>
<li>Chinese</li>
<li>Czech (outdated)</li>

and you are willing to take care of that, please learn
<a href="contributing_translating.html">how to do it</a>.</p>

</ul>

</ul>
<p>Luminance HDR can also write Exif metadata to JPEG, PNG and TIFF files using Exiv2.</p>

lousy results is what you want. For the rest of you we bundle a solid help
system to help you getting the most of your pictures.</p>
<p>The help system is, again, localizable. Right now only English version is
available, but you can <a href="contributing_translating.html">contribute
a translation</a> into your native language, if you really want to.</p>
