RE: multi language interfaces

["Forbes, Vincent" <Vincent.Forbes@xxxxxxxx>]

I saw a tool that someone wrote a long while back that would convert your
DSPF constants to messages in a MSGF & change the constants in the DSPF to
MSGCON().  

All that would be needed is to copy the message file {to a new name} &
translate the text.  

Then to change languages, just do an OVRMSGF.  

To create additional languages, copy the message file {to a new name} &
translate the text.

Bauke,

If I interpret this right, it means that for every additional language a
new record has to be added. Then I have to recompile every dspf. I would
build it a little more flexible.

Thanks anyway, Arco.
