"Best practice" for localization

Maybe I will release my tools in two or three languages - is there a kind of "Best practice" for this job?

I don't have time to search at the moment, but there have been discussions about this in the past here on the forum. Someone even wrote a lisp library for runtime localization.

Thanks, I will take a look (or maybe the author of this library reads this thread ..) ;)

Hi, Peter, in the past I worked for a company who solved that using a database: each column for a different language.
Otherwise you have a try with msg-files for each language.
In the meanwhile there shouldn't be any caption which cannot be set at runtime...

Regards, Fred

And then? The captions where read from database?

Yes, that sounds interesting.

Here is the thread I mentioned earlier:

Hi Slavko
