Funny, when you said other languages, I was thinking programming languages

If you go through the effort, it would be nice if you move verbiage to resource bundles so it could easily be translated to other languages. However, I think you will notice a large amount of the verbiage already comes from the ini file. So you really need to go into the ini file for each embeded code to get it all.

Teb,

Eric wrote MegaTune in C++.

ah ok. I know java has quite a few tools to make it easy to support lots of languages automatically. I haven't kept up on c++ though.

Not really.... Once the verbiage goes in the code, it is there, regardless of programming language. It is really designing the app so ll verbiage is external and MT is actually much that way.
To make a spanish version of MegaTune, most of your work will be in the ini file. So I would start there, you'll probably find it will get you close enough that you don't need to dig into the C++ code.

Take the stable embedded code ini files, like extra 29q2 and translate all the verbiage in there. The ini file is really what ends up displaying on all the dialogs an menus.
