I once followed this approach:
- Create a table with two or more fields for the languages
- Fill this with common phrases and words.
- create a global function "trans" with parameter Phrase
- With every control, messagebox etc, replace the caption or content with
trans ("mytext")
where mytext is a phrase in the primal language.
The function Trans looks up the right phrase and, here's the knack, it prompts you to add a translation for the case that you forgot one. It reads a global variable to determine what language is desired.
When writing the interface, you just write in the primal language,
When you start using or testing the application it will automatically prompt you to add the necessary translations.
Note: this assumes that the content of the tables is not language- specific.
I must have the function somewhere, if you are interested I can post it.
