Actually, it's not complicated at all. I have a little builder that allows me to reposition the controls while I am running the form under whatever language I need. The builder then saves any properties I have set back to my "FormObjects" table.

The English forms have no overrides at all but I can open up any foreign language form which needs adjusting in the designer and adjust the size and position of the controls (and override methods) if neccessary.
