Hi Monte,

It was a pain in the derriere in HyperCard where there is only one 
background per card.  It can only be worse in Revolution.

I believe the recommended approach to translation is to use the 
Profile Manager to preconfigure each control for each language 
supported.  I personally do not use this approach because I want my 
app to be translatable into any (Western) language, not just those it 
ships with.

FYI, the Serendipity Reference includes a short primer on stack 
translatability in the appendix, and the Serendipity Library includes 
translation tools + examples...but no handler to inventory your 
controls  :{(
