If you do, I have no doubt that there is a fair number of people on this
list - not least me - who would be interested in seeing the code for this.
I've found that I'm much better at hacking at other people's code than I am
at generating original code, and something like this would be interesting
to play with.
QUESTION FOR THE LIST: I'm starting to work on a set of routines that can
be used to simplify the translation of a program's interface between
languages - it doesn't do the translation, it just makes it easier to take
out the language1 strings and substitute the equivalent strings in
language2, so that, in theory, all one would have to do to release a French
and a German version of a program would be to ship a different string
resources file. Is there any interest in this capability? I repeat, my
code will not do the language translation, just make it possible to easily
update a program to handle different languages.
