>Does this approach work for Indian & English languages. As Indian languages are nonlinear (i.e. the labels may vary largely in length and height). I have been trying this by using dbf but then the form loading speed are very slow. I am unaware of building builders.

I see no reason why this would not work for you. I store the object properties in a memo field. These can be any valid properties including height, width, top, left, fontname, fontsize, fontbold, caption, etc. You can even includ any cutsom properties you have added to any of your classes.

The table has a structure like KeyID [I], FormName [C20], ObjectName [C30], ParentName [C90], EnglishProps [M], SpanishProps [M], FrenchProps [M], etc...

To add another language, all I have to do is add another langProps memo field.
