AW: Localization

[Vaughn Clement]

Hi Roger

I wonder if this would work? I use this approach in FileMaker. I take every
field text heading and set a variable to display the header, then I use a
translation of the header where the user can select the language and the
language is replaced with the translated words for that language. If this
works for you in LC I would be interested to know how it worked out. It may
already be included in LC somewhere on a how to lesson?

Thank you

Vaughn Clement
