As far as I understand it, and I've had good success with custo= mizing GNATS, it only supports basic ASCII in its data files and doesn't ha= ve any localization support. That doesn't mean you couldn't localize it, I'= ve localized worse (i.e. printer firmware). If you were going to localize i= t, a generic localization approach would be: A) Use the field names as keys to a string resource database and map them t= o localized string displays in the user-interface. So don't change "Closed-= Date" to something else, leave it as-is and then map it to its german strin= g through a lookup table and some additional user-interface code. B) You would need to check over the I/O and indexing routines to make sure = they can support the character set you are using. You could do this in incr= easingly levels of complexity by either kludging your character set into A= SCII with escape codes, programming support for eight-bit character sets (I= think most european languages can be handled in eight bits), or go all out= and change it so that it supports unicode strings opaquely. GNATS expects = mail-like messages. If you look at how file attachments are handled, they a= re converted into something that looks like uuencoded ASCII. You would need= to do something similair with foreign character sets, especially if you wa= nted to do it right by using Unicode.
