Thanks Ken and Thierry for the info. I will take a look at these
and let you know how it goes.
Here is what I came up with by combing the hints everyone provided.
My app has language files identified using 2 character language codes
(en,fr,de,etc). This function returns one of those language codes
based on the platform the app is running on.
I've tested on OS X with English, French, German, Spanish and
Italian. I tested Win XP with English and it worked but haven't
tested the other languages yet since I don't have Windows in anything
but English. If anyone wants to let me know how it works on their
international system that would be great. Otherwise I will just wait
to hear back from the localization company.
Thanks for the pointers.
