RE: multi language interfaces

Hi Arco,

in that case, I'd go for a solution where you have output fields in the 
display file instead of constants, and fill them - either from a data file 
or from a message file - depending on the language specified in the user 
preferences.

It is in my opinion the most flexible and easiest solution.  If ever you 
need an additional language, it's not necessary to re-compile the display 
files, you can simply point the application to a different data/message 
file.

Hello Peter,

I'm open for every solution because we start with this from scratch. But
personally I think it would be better to keep it flexible "on the fly".
Creating a dspf object for every language looks not so flexible to me.
