>Hello everybody,

>We have a software package written in VFP with lots of usual classes, menu, reports, forms, message boxes which is written in the universal language i.e English. We would like to convert our present software to a number of different languages including German, Spanish, Swedish,Polish for displaying menu, UI's and reports without actually going into each of these and modifying by manual labour.

The standard approach - if you choose to do this yourself - is to use constants or varables for your captions, etc.

For instance:
* Form.Init():
This.Label1.Caption = CAP_CLIENTNAME

* LANGUAGE.H, English version:
#DEFINE CAP_CLIENTNAME "Client"
