Well, I gather from your text that you speak english first, right? Well, so
long as it is acceptable to have to choose at program startup you could do
this:
Have a global array programTexts.
Have a proc InitializeProgramTexts which takes as an arguement either german
or english. Have it just load up an array with something like this:
set programTexts(okbutton) "Ok"
or
set programTexts(okbutton) "GermanOk"
Now later in the program, when you do your button, say:
global programTexts
button .ok -text $programTexts(okbutton)
This puts all your phrases in one fairly easily managed place, and lets you
impudently use english throughout the rest of the program.
Hope this helps.
