If you want to translate CleverCleaner into your own language, at first you need the current gettext-language file (default.pot) which you can get here.
Now, although you can translate this file with any text editor, I would recommend you use poedit which makes it easier to translate it. After you have installed and started poedit, you can just create a new catalog and follow the instructions.
As soon as you have translated CleverCleaner, you can send the new translation file (.po) to the Patch Tracker so that it can be implemented

For a few months ago I have been asked to add a autorun feature to CleverCleaner to start the cleaning process automatically. That would be helpful to start CleverCleaner for instance from within a login.bat file.
This feature has been added to CleverCleaner Version 2. CleverCleaner now provides the following command line options:
/f Path-To-Configuration-File
/autorun
With the /f option, you can specify a particular cc.xml configuration file on your system.
If you set the option /autorun, CleverCleaner will be opened minimized and start the cleaning process automatically. If the option “Display conformation dialog” is disabled, CleverCleaner will automatically delete the found files and then disappear silently.
Examples:
CleverCleaner.exe /autorun
CleverCleaner.exe /f C:\cc.xml /autorun

If you would like to compile CleverCleaner on your machine to modify the source code for your personal needs or to create a patch, you can get the information how to do that on the new developer page. If any essential information is missing on this page, please let me know.

After a long period of developing a complete new CleverCleaner version, the first beta edition is now out there. I have been testing CleverCleaner on many different systems but I cannot test anything. So before I’m going to release the first release candidate of CleverCleaner Version 2 it would be great if as many people as possible could test the new version and report found bugs in the Bug Tracker.
If you need any further information about how to support respectively get support, read the new support page.
