Internationalization ??

[vmaruv]

Hi,

I have developed a VB 6 interface for backup and recovery of SQL Database. Is it possible to translate the VB code in other languages like Japanese, French etc ? Is there any tool that can automatically do the conversion if I input the exe ? The requirement is that all the lables,buttons etc have to be in the respective langugage.
I have no idea about this..please can someone suggest ?

Thanks in Advance

you need to look at resource string tables. There are quite a few good examples in this forum. As for automated services, there are a few websites for direct translation, although I'm not sure of their technical knowledge, but these only translate line by line. I'm not sure of any application translate your entire exe for you. I'd be quite happy to be shown otherwise.

Good luck

You should be aware that the VB forms engine uses ANSI, not Unicode, so you're pretty much limited to Western European character sets.

An alternative would be to find a copy of VB which had been localized by Microsoft for that market, and port your code to it (should just be a load & compile, but could be more)

If you want true internationalization, you'll need to switch to VB.NET.

Thanks a lot for the answers. I was really not knowing anything about internationalization before I put my question here. I have a better picture of doing things now.

THANKS A LOT AGAIN !!
