RE: multi language interfaces

Arco,

If the rest of your data is independent from the user language, I'd go for 
a solution where all data is in the same library.   This is better in view 
of backups and maintenance.

You can then still go for a solution with a separate file per language 
(named differently or accessed with a language-specific OVR-command), or 
choose for one single file where your key contains a field for the 
language.

Hi Peter,

That's the way I also lean toward. But how to implement such? Do I have
to use a seperate lib for every language in which I store message files
and datafiles? Or is it better to use datafiles in the same lib wich
have the content for all the languages that should be used? Now only
three languages will be supported, but you'll never know for the future.

TIA, Arco
