Oh Kurt,
Your main concern was to change caption. Then I think creating a label class of your own would be an easier solution. Label class could be something like :

Language = 1 &&English,French,Turkish,Italian,German
*Init
select * from myTranslator ;
  where English == this.Caption ;
  into array arrTemp
if _Tally > 0
 this.Caption = arrTemp[1,this.Language]
endif

At design time click on any control on form, go to command window :

aselobj(arrForm,1)
arrForm.SetAll('Language',2) && Set to French

When you run the form you'd see missing captions left at their default English. I would use this for just design time and keep language version in an app wide property. Otherwise each language version would need a separate compile (init would then use oApp.Language rather then this.Language).
