How do you tell the forms, controls, etc. which language to use? Are there
many routines, or just one?

Doris:

At form or report load time I call one of several translate routines which
go to the tables, find the control in questions and replace the caption or
whatever with the field from the record is specified by the user's language
preference.  To do Asian languages I had only to load the Eastern Asian
Language support in Windows and, walla!, up it came in Chinese. (Of course I
have no earthly idea what it says, I have to trust the translator.)  The
translate routine did need to accommodate Unicode, because I guess that's
what Chinese characters are stored in.  I think it's a double word for each
character.
