What 'localization framework' > do you have in mind? I was referring to OOo's localization framework which looks like it uses language.xba and .src files in the OOo source to build up the strings into modules.

The only thing I've seen code on are things that use the configuration services and in the java code uses the locale setting to pull the right string out. I haven't seen anything that does it automatically as you suggest. Is it possible for you to point me to a code sample showing how to do this in java? > > HTH, Joerg > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
