Hey, I may not be the world's most sophisticated Access programmer but I ask
good questions.  Look at the legs on this thread!

Yes, I've seen the example.  

Sorry I changed your table structure for my example, it's a habit to want to
spread it out more.  Technically, there should be a language table with the
font used, and instead of the Language name in the controls table, it should
be a key....

Either way... LOL.  

I've got some comments on Max's example though, will post in a new thread.

One of those objections - proofing the translations -  he actually designed
around with some code that updates the tags from the table.  That's because
one of my requirements was to be able to add a new language by adding a
field to the table and then sending the table to the translator.  So when
the table comes back with the translations, run the update and you're done.
So you don't actually ever have to physically mess with the tags.

I don't think I have any control translations that are over 50 characters or
so.  In fact I just looked and the longest concatenation of the 5 languages
is 638 characters.,  so the 2048 character limit is not too much of a
constraint.  I could do at least 15 languages that way.  Heaven forefend.

Ok, I think Max emailed out his database, I didn't see any specific code.
But the concept was initially to put all the translations into the captions
.Tag property, in a 'master' copy, and then create a language specific
database.
