I really think getting a native speaker involved is a good idea. You 
want the local idiom for "OK", "Cancel", "File", because you can run 
into a lot of confusion with conteztless literal translation. We had a 
client who wanted one in Hebrew - they want it badly enough that they 
translated the string table just to get it. A good outcome for all. (and 
a warning to anyone doing right-to-left languages that windows bugs can 
be a right pain here).
