More info: "I started making jAlbum after coming home from a ski trip with friends and didn't find any good software for making web albums. That was in 2002. The years since then have been the most exciting in my life, but a lot of work too. (I wouldn't mind another ski trip...) Luckily jAlbum has the best community in the world to help. /David"

Translators
Name: Frank Schürer
Connection: German translator
Location: Plauen, Saxony, Germany
E-mail:
More info: "In 2002 I had to find a way to organize about 1000 photos on a CD for easy presentation. I found jAlbum was a great program that could offer a range of flexibility that is not limited to some predefined templates. At that time the Help of jAlbum was only in English language and I thought it would be great when German speaking people, who aren't fluent in English could use this free program and create their own photo albums easily. So I translated the help files to German and later the jAlbum texts as well when a new update came out. My hobbies and my profession include developing software in C/C++, Java or Delphi and occasionally creating web pages."

As do I have dual citizenship (Brazilian and Portuguese), I'm planning on making a travel to get to know several countries in Europe, and enjoy taking great photos of the places I visit.
