Beth,

I think you should be able to use the txtwidth and fontmetric functions to convert them.

You might also want to use a text field instead of a label. You can make the width big enough to hold both languages, if you did that you could put a function in to do the translation at runtime without the need to manipulate the FRX at runtime.
