Multi Lingual.

[Abert]

Hi All.

I have an app that is currently UK only, ie, language.

It's possible that I may need to make the application multi lingual, it may
be that every EU country needs to be catered for.

I'm fine with dates and code, can someone give me a 'heads up' on the GUI
side of things?

Cheers.

Basic Instincts: Resources and Localization

There are two ways to do that: VS and WinRes:

If you are using VS, just set the form's 'Localizable' property to 'True',
select the language in the property window and localize the forms.

WinRes is useful if localization is done by an external company. In this
case, the free Express editions of VS are useful too.
