Now before I start down my typical path of re-inventing the wheel, I felt I should ask this question of the list, just to see if anyone has found an effective way of working with Localized (multiple-language) projects.

I have never done any work with creating localized projects. I know that I will end up mutilating the native languages via the Google Translator, but I figure that a 90% translated program is better than a program that isn't used because it's not in a person's main language.

- Property profiles are nice, but it means that I have to store all of the language data for each object within a profile, making it harder to make changes to the text.

- Placing all text in a file, and then just translating the file to multiple languages when building the standalone would be preferred, but that would require some massive scripting to populate button and field labels, etc.

- Also, I have to roll my own dialogs that don't return the name of what button was pushed, but instead a number, as the number doesn't need to be translated. (Ex: 0=Cancel,1=OK)

Any ideas? ... Please!
