the argument some would make is "you should be using ResourceStrings anyway"

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face=Verdana color=#800000 size=2>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 face=Arial size=2>Hi All.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><FONT face=Arial size=2>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 face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have had a requst to translate my
application from English to German, then to French
maybe.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><FONT face=Arial size=2>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 face=Arial size=2>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 face=Arial size=2>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 face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am keen to know what others do in this
situation.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, does anyone use any online
translation companies that you send your words too and they do the
translations?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
