That easy with PEMSTATUS. But if the Caption came from the Class, I don't know from what class it came.

In the init of objects with a caption call a function to translate and set the caption. Have this function always fire, even for the native language, that will keep the performance consistent. This is a very popular product: http://www.stevenblack.com/intl%205.asp
