I built a multilingual app using class libraries and wizards from Visual Extend (www.devigus.com). The wizards made the process fairly simple. All language definitions are stored in a VFP table. Before building each language's EXE you use a wizard to generate the necessary include files. Each form's Init() defines all captions from constants defined in th include files. All procedures and functions use constants for message box text, etc.

Using constants for your language text is much faster than using a table. If you use very simple forms though you may not notice much difference.
