Hello Russh,
Í am familiar with Recruity but I wasn't my cup of thee. It is open source with some limitations like Cats once was. At first it's difficult to install and they know it. They will charge you €100 to do it for you. I didn't succeed so I tried the demo. Well ... very disapointing comparing to OpenCats.
For using OpenCats you don't need a manual just your common sense. Recruity has a terrible look and feel and if there is a logical workflow ... I have not discover it yet. It also hasn't got a carreer page and that page is so usefull.
In my opinion OpenCats has a future as long as some programmers are willing to devellop it more.
By the way I don't know what you mean with Local language projects. (Maybe Jos knows
)
