You need a translator to translate each language. Now, at the Visual FoxPro level, you can do the translation. But, you need to know what language to give the user. If you don't have an authentification, you won't be able to do that. But, you can make a general menu on the first page which will move the user to the language he want avoiding the need of an authentification.
