No you understood it right. I modified it each time it's run (report tables themselves are small so modification is fractions of second)
You might modify once if they're not included or would like to keep copy once modified.

>>Allan,
>>We did something similar and as I can see it went much easier for you :)
>>For wait windows, messages and menus send your text to a converter. We did something like :
>>wait window this.oTranslator.Translate('Message Text')
>>(Couldn't find a way to do that automatically but browsed forms :( as not all were in header files)

>>For reports :
>>Copied the report to a temp table, found object types that're label and changed them with oTranslator.Translate(), erased temp table after report ran.
