Yes, that is the intended function.

By now, most of the scanning already works, disregarding a few "quirks"
that are missing yet, e.g. excluding the language names themselves or
providing a method for programmatically modifiable text items.
The translation function just presented a veritable obstacle - it
won't work, stubbornly crashing on some menu structure.
Unfortunately, the menus are quite special, a hierarchy of their own,
independent of all the other gui elements (which are desendents of
TComponent, while the menu elements are direct descendents of the basic
TObject only). This made the parser rather complex, and probabely is
the cause of the current stumbling block.

If you want to present a selection of languages, it will be neccessary
to present a selection of languages, I think...
Well, yes, there has to be some means to find these names, and the
current method of a "translation" for a common name ("English") looks
pretty "cool". I'd like to keep that, if possible, so the current
function can be kept as is. Perhaps it might even be possible to add a
"default character set" to each language that is best suited for its
presentation. This might even be used to allow rendering the selection
entries with this character set as to be able to display them all in a
readable manner, independent of the currently selected main character
set.
But for now, getting the "formscanner" to work should be my main
activity in this area, I think.
