You can do this in your baseclass once and for all, so you don't have to take care of it anymore.

You should have something like:

*** BaseFormClass::Init()
_Screen.oLanguage.TranslateContainer( this )


*** oLanguage::TranslateContainer( toContainer )

if PemStatus( toContainer, "Caption", 5 )
   * The container has its own caption, translate it
   This.Translate( toContainer.Caption )
endif

* Loop trough all the controls
local loControl as Object
for each loControl in toContainer

   if PemStatus( loControl, "Caption", 5 )
      * The control has caption, translate it
      This.Translate( loControl.Caption )
   endif

   if PemStatus( loControl, "Controls", 5 )
      * It is a container; recurse
      This.TranslateContainer( loControl )
   endif
next

I hope you got the idea. You should add parameter checking, control other properties beside caption, handle pageframes, and all. Take this as almost pseudo-code.

Best luck,
