multi-lingual applications

[kcliche]

I am looking for examples of how one would create an application that could be used for different languages (ie. English, French, Spanish).

I heard of the getResources function but am not familiar with it.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You could take a look to the User Interface Localizer, a ttol that is included into CVI distribution and can be accessed from Tools menu: it takes a UIR file and permits you to define for every control the corresponding label / title / value in a different language. The strings you prepare in the tools can then be exported in a separate file and used to display the panels with texts in a language different from the default one.

As explained in this tool help, "Once you  have a language resource file, you can use the functions LoadLocalizedPanel and
LoadLocalizedMenubar in toolslib\localui\localui.fp"
