Pick the right tool Ed? I think you mean write your own framework. <http://docs.python.org/library/gettext.html> I was looking at that earlier and tried to find the any sort of examples to read. I will still stand on my out of the box IDE that only request 1 line for language, another to set display and the third for substitutions needed on this GUI. Other great aspect is that it works the same in web, as well as winform projects. In Silverlight or XAML based presentation are not so lucky in this release but I think it is fixed in 2010. Only time will tell. You currently identify the language and send to the corresponding page or WHAT A HACK.
