Hi Alex

Thanks for responding

>What martin just trold you is correct. It is basically the way INTL also works with a field for keyword (actually a phrase as you can put the text in your label) and then a column for each language. If nothing is defined for a particular record for a particular language, it defaults to English (or whatever you want).

Okay

Is it advisable to make a global translation class

label.init()

This.Caption = goTranslate.Msg(this.caption)

this.caption was already English in my case at design time

Please advise.

Okay
