Facilitating translations - Just an idea
Split the text strings from the actual scripts
Bernard,
Wouldn't it be possible to place the typical language dependent strings in a separate library file that can then be consoluted by the scripts when on screen strings are needed? In this way it would be much simpler to make a translation. You would only have to take the original English or French library and start translating. The only thing to add in the script then is the selected language and even that could be done dynamically by looking at which libraries exist in the library directory.
e.g. local_language_FR.dict local_language_DE.dict local_language_EN.dict local_language_NL.dict ...
At the same time you would also save time as one string reappears in multiple files.
Cheers
Jan
