Re: Multi-Language-Support iOS
Hi Harald I don't know if this works on iOS but In my app using Japanese and English, I have two custom property sets that have the same elements, each with names in their respective languages. The appropriate property set is set on preopenstack of the mainstack based on a preference setting. on preopenstack set the custompropertyset of wd myapp to whichlanguage end preopenstack under the custompropertyset I have a customproperty consisting of a list of objects and their label/content synct,Synchronize multit,Multiple Copies then I read the customproperty and split thelist by return and comma then on preopenstack of the main stack or any substacks I set the object properties. set the label of btn synct to thelist[synct] set the text of fld multicopyt to thelist[multit] you do not have to include a customproperty that is one long list, you could make each label a separate cprop and call it like set the label of btn synct to the synct of wd myapp The important part is that you have a custompropertyset for each language and then set that according to your user's preferences.

Re: Multi-Language-Support iOS
Hi Ron, thank you for your remarks! That could be a way to distribute the loaded language file to the relevant elements. But perhaps the step via customproperties isn't necessary. When I have to change labels and texts with a script I could also get the input directly from the language file. (I do want the data to be in an external file, because the handling of more than one translation should be easy. To make every change inside the stack by hand wouldn't be very comfortable and the chance to make errors would be too big.) Regards, Harald.

Re: Multi-Language-Support iOS
Harald, Seems good ! I just use, for my own, a function witch contains items lines delimited rows, one sentence per row and a different translation per item.
