Hi, "If you want to provide language support for you app but you don't want to use any of the localization techniques "
Does this means any standard technique is available for achieving this? If yes please let me know what it is ? One more thing is now simplified for me.Now requirment is "The Application will automatically detect the language of the Palm device and display the appropriate localized text." i.e. i can use the overlays technique for static text. Still the problem persists for dynamic strings (I will get list of english string from the server, which needs to converted according to current locale.) Is their any standard Api available which can give me string version specific to the locale. Or if i can get some sample code to achieve this That will be help full to me. rgds, Ritu "Ben Combee" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > At 01:20 PM 5/18/2004, you wrote: > >If you want to provide language support for you app but you don't want to > >use any of the localization techniques it seems to me like the only option > >is to program this feature into your application.
