Shifting between languages

A given string should be converted into its corresponding german language string.

Hey,
I think the easy way to do it is
Take two label one is the simple label with english font and another is Microsoft forms 2.0 component's label with German font and on some action for e.g. command button click assign text1.text (english) to text2.(German)

If i like to do my project on a global level/Internalization how should i do the same. here Internalization means, people in any nations should have the facility to see project in their own religional language. How should i code in different language? or with out having knowledge of Japananese/Korean Language can i make it out?

Pls respond.

One way is to use resource files. You just create a separate entry for each label, or string that can appear in multiple values.

Then, based on what the user chooses, you load the language strings at runtime.

hi
the another method for this is :
see right now in my product we support 5 different international languages....like german, spanish,dutch, etc...ok...

so i do have a table in my database where in we have the english equivalents of all the labesl in all languages.....

so when the user logs in ,we do ask for the language preferred ,so depending on the language selected the label caption in the form r populated form the database....

this way also yu can do....

Internationalization, or i18n as it is popularly called, is not a easy issue at it seems in the begining. Especially, if you are planning to really go into places like Far-Eastern Asia, Middle-East Asia etc. If you are planning to stick to countries which use Roman Alphabets, like English , French, German etc, you have little problems which you can handle very easily.
WHen you try to convert it for languages like Russain which use a different character set, you run into problems.
When you further run into languages like those of Middle East, which run from right to left, and the Far-Eastern present a totally different challenge, you are in a bit of rough weather.
Even for countries that use English as their language, the local variation is great. This factor is known as localization.
I suppose even MSDN had excerpts from a book on this issue.
