Yes there is a transparency issue with the original 0.97 version on OS previous to XP or when themes are disabled. But try to apply every single update available to DreamShield (by checking the update by the specific menu of the start page of DreamShield) and making a setup. It should be corrected. The corresponding message in DreamShield's forum was that one :
www.developpez.net/forums/d736197/applic...e-p-infobox-anglais/ (and it's fixed with Abys RC2 update).
For the translation, normally every texts corresponding the actions or project editing is correctly translated isn't ? For the rest (like the rss feeds displayed in the start page of DreamShield IDE i haven't created yet an english version of it). But for the documentation, you can use the automatic translation provided by google by that link :
