I need to make an application multi-lingual. I have worked out how to create a module for my strings and how to specify the translations for each string. If the user clicks a "Language Selection" icon then I am displaying a window with a button for each language I provide. When the user clicks a button, how can I make the application start to use the appropriate translation strings i.e. if they click "German", how do I make the application start to use all the strings defined for German? I need to change the locale that the program thinks is the current locale. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Thanks.

Is there a way I can override the current users locale computer settings?
