>>>Hi All
>>> Does anybody know of a activeX libary that will let me pass a text string in english and return it in another langauge.ie; German, Spanish etc. I need to convert a pdf report into another langauge programmicly. Does anyone know of such a animal. It can written for any programming langauge also, such as C, C++ anything. I need to do this when I am actually creating the report, not afterwards.

I remember several years ago reading about A to B and back to A translators. The sample used was the idiom "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak." When passed into and out of a Russian program it came back as "The vodka is strong but the meat is undercooked."
