Re: multi language interfaces

[Bruce Vining <bvining@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You've received many good suggestions on how you might support a
multi-lingual environment.  In addition to those ideas I would also suggest
you review the Globalization topic in the V5R3 Information Center.  You can
find this under Programming and then Globalization.  It wouldn't hurt to
review most of that topic and I would suggest that Develop global
applications would be one "must read" topic.

Hi all,

In our shop 95 % of the applications is RPG with 5250 user interfaces.
Almost all of the display files are hardcoded with Dutch conversations.
Management has decided that all new applications should have
multilangual user interfaces, based on user preferences.
The system language (we are on V5R2) is English and that will stay as it
is. Only the applications become multilang interfaces.

I googled around but can't find much about how to implement such thing.
Does anybody have a good starting point for this?

Many thanks,

Arco Simonse
