I get a message saying the language i have selected has a incomplete translation

This will happen when the language you have selected is not fully updated compared English list, and some things cannot be translated for you. The result being that Radio Stream Player will show the English text when it fails to find one in the language you have selected.

Due to the fact that TheXSoft.com cannot afford to pay for translations we require the community of users to translate for us, and if you are willing to help out please read more on how you can do that here
