Hi, Look at the "Strings Panel" - Window->Other Panels->Strings
With this, you can apply ID's to each of your text fields on stage. You then create separate XML files, one for each language, with the ID's and corresponding text, that you can "Apply" at authoring time. (Check the help in the panel for more info).
This seems like the best way to help you with non-actionscript swapping of languages.
It's probably a bit late now, but it would have been a good idea to design with translation in mind - you will reduce the amount of problems with translated words screwing up your layout if you have translations in advance...
Dave Williamson gave a useful presentation on Localisation & Mobilisation at Flash On The Beach. A blog post & presentation files are here. Although it's missing his speech, the files have some useful snippets of code and links - especially a useful bit of AS to deal with choosing which font to use and fall backs...

Hi guys I came under a scenario where I have 15 User interface screens all in English and they are designed graphically (not using Action Script code at all). Now my requirements is that I need to convert all of those 15 screens to 8 more languages which include russian, german, hebrew , japanese and few more. I need to see how does those screens look with other languages. Does anyone know any plugin where i can just pass those swf files and new swf files came with converted language. Somehow like this webpage http://www.windowslivetranslator.com/Default.aspx Please let me know if there is any other way too. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
