I can tell you about my own experience: I ship 3 different PRC's because it's unlikely people need several linguistic versions at the same time (PDA's tend to be more personal than PC's) and using overlays require OS 3.5 while I support PalmOS down to version 3.0. I maintain 3 resource files (forms, strings, help text, alerts, etc.) under Constructor and thus produce 3 targets under CodeWarrior. I also maintain 3 HTML manuals with proper screenshots and I write trilingual posts on my mailing list to warn of new versions. No text string appears in the source code, even StrPrintF templates, everything is in the resource file. It's a lot of work; I suggest you find someone to do the initial resource, manual and Web page translation. You'll find it's enough work just to maintain everything over time and new versions afterwards. -- Luc Le Blanc http://www.speleo.qc.ca/Auriga -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
