I forgot to mention that you can try it out:

The latest developer release of Evince x.xx.xx for Windows is available at:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hiberis:/UNSTABLE/openSUSE_11.1/noarch/

You will need the file: mingw32-evince-msi-x.xx.xx-yy.y.noarch.rpm

Due to its build process, this package is an rpm file. Inside this file, you
will find an evince-x.xx.xx.msi file, which is the installer. You can extract
this installer from the rpm file either on Linux using rpm or on Windows using
7-zip.

Maybe, maybe not, I have little knowledge about it, and I have only an
English Windows XP, so that makes testing a bit more difficult. But
sure, you can just try to put an existing translation from Linux into
your Evince install folder on Windows and see what happens. If that
works, please report back.

I have added this to the latest build, but I have not tested it yet,
so I do not know for certain that it works.
