Hello, Ken

Thank you for your clarifications. Now I understand we won't have a localized Visual Foxpro version. To tell you the truth, I prefer the English version for the IDE. I misunderstood your initial message-I thought is about runtime.

Howerver, the need to localize the runtime still exists. I really don't like to have all my programs in Romanian, but the 'Go to page' dialog to be in english.

Can you, please, allow us to translate only the strings visible in executables? You could start a survey to see if there is a real demand for this. If it is, maybe MS will allow us. If it doesn't, then this whole issue will cease.

Thank you

>>I don't think though that it solves the other problem that Metin is asking for. Which is an ability to have developers create localizations of the runtime where Microsoft doesn't feel there is a large enough demand to distribute a VFPnxxx.dll runtime. If the string resource data was externalized from the DLL into a DBF this would be a trivial thing for any developer to fix up the data.

This will probably be the same for Europa. We have never made the runtime DLLs localizable and we do not have plans to do so based on lack of demand.
