<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font size="2" color="#800000" face="Verdana">I had to translate a small app last year into Dutch
and German and just created some ini files one for each language, with
name/value pairs of words and phrases in them. The main app ini specifies which
language to use at runtime. For this app we were mainly only asked to translate
the data and the reports, not so much the UI. It didn't take long at all to do
this way for a small app.</font></span></div>

<div><span><font size="2" face="Arial">Hi
All.</font></span></div>
<div><span><font size="2" face="Arial">I Think this has
been a subject a few times before, but unfortunitly I didnt really retain
anything about it because it didnt apply at the time.....hehehe...and of
course now it does :-)</font></span></div>
<div><span><font size="2" face="Arial"></font></span> </div>
<div><span><font size="2" face="Arial">I have had a
requst to translate my application from English to German, then to French
maybe.</font></span></div>
<div><span><font size="2" face="Arial">I downloaded the
trial of Sisulizer and Multilizer with the, as it now turns out,
misunderstanding that they did the translation, when infact they only appear
to give you a list of the strings in your app and a column for you to put the
translations into or export the strings into a file that you send off
somewhere.</font></span></div>
<div><span><font size="2" face="Arial">I thought to
myself, if thats all, then why dont I just use resource strings and Googlaes
translation tool?</font></span></div>
<div><span><font size="2" face="Arial">The specifics of
grammer etc. from the translation will be done by someone anyway, so thats not
an issue.</font></span></div>
<div><span><font size="2" face="Arial"></font></span> </div>
<div><span><font size="2" face="Arial">I am keen to know
what others do in this situation.</font></span></div>
<div><span><font size="2" face="Arial">Also, does anyone
use any online translation companies that you send your words too and they do
the translations?</font></span></div>
<div><span><font size="2" face="Arial"></font></span> </div>
