<DIV><SPAN class=668290321-30072007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I'd
like to follow up on this. The idea is to have an application that can be used
in multiple languages. A probably not complete list of things that need to be
considered in screens are:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=668290321-30072007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>While
it would be very nice to prompt the user for a language and proceed accordingly,
things like month names and messages make this difficult. We usually suggest
that there is a compiled dictionary and application for each language and that
the language code be specified before the application is actually
started.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=668290321-30072007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>If
there was just one or two things preventing an easy multi-language screen, then
we could see how difficult it was to add that feature, but if there are many
things or after this one, there'll be another... Well, I don't want to do
something piecemeal.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Our aplicaction has been developed to work in multiple languages

labels has been replaced with temporary items but it is not possible to do the
same with the keys and actionbars. <BR><BR>Something like this would be
