I have tackled it some time ago in Delphi but only with European languages. Hence my interest in the subject. Back then I stored all of the text strings and layout details (as absolute positions in a window) in a database along with a default language for each user. Whether that would be applicable to your application I don't know. Your suggested solution might be more efficient in the PHP environment. It probably depends a lot on the kind of performance you can get from the database. It is probably more important that you should go for the solution that is easiest for you to maintain even if it requires a bit more "up front" effort in terms of design and coding. I hope this helps. Best wishes Andy Clark As usual in these cases, "There Is Always More Than One Way To Do IT". ------------------------ Yahoo!
