Translations

GifBuilder has been released in English and in French since version 0.3.1. French versions are labelled with an 'F', e.g. GifBuilder 0.5 F.

Other translations might exist, but they have not been tested by GifBuilder's author and are not supported in any way. The modified GifBuilder may not be redistributed.

As stated above, translating GifBuilder without the prior written permission of its author is a copyright infrigement.

Warranty

GifBuilder is distributed as is, without any warranty or promise of technical support. GifBuilder seems to work as expected, at least on my computer, but the author disclaims any liability of any kind for any loss of data, damages, etc. or any consequential effect.
GifBuilder has produced files a few programs (including itself) seem to be able to decode, but it is in no way "certified" to encode files compliant with any standard.
