> I think there would be a language barrier there. :) Maybe not as much as you think. You can use the same keyboard shortcuts (Alt-F, O opens a file), and most menu items are in the same place. You can have Director running on an English system and just count over and down to get to the right menu item, even if you can't read it.
This is a pretty common thing in localization houses. I've localized products into as many as 13 different languages, including Greek, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, and Russian (think Disney). Those are all different OSen, and of course I don't speak all those languages, but you learn to get around. You don't really have to speak a language to resize a dialog box or text sprite, and test it on the native system. > Mine need is much simpler.

Maybe what you should do, then, is to use graphics. You could have the graphical text done in Flash and display the Flash sprite if you're worried about space. As long as it's unchanging text, I think that's what I'd do. Then it would run on any system.
