Eyvind,

We have been using INTL for about 5 years. We use it in all of our VFP Windows and VFP Web aplications.

There were things we had to change in our applications, but I would consider them minor.

With INTL you can pass in strings to be translated, so you could:
=MessageBox( _screen.ointl.i("Some Message") )

In a WinForm, INTL will translate all labels and buttons and check boxes, etc... However, there is an easy way to tell INTL not to touch certain objects on a form.

We even use INTL in our VFP reports.

Hope this helps.

Jerry

Recently, a demand for multiple languages in the UI has surfaced. I have been looking at Steven Blacks web site for the INTL toolkit, but would really like to hear som actual opinions and experiences with this toolkit from you guys.
