[AccessD] Spanish Translations

I got the demo and saw that actually it was using the translation service in
Word.  His program just took care of the export/import.  

I already had everything in tables so I exported the English to a word doc
and used this research-->translate function which I never knew was there.

There's still going to be a lot of tweaking because the translations are
different lengths than the English so the label and button widths need to be
adjusted for every new language.

Well, I was asked by a customer about translating my app to about 5
different languages. I got Alex's program, customized it a bit and had it
finished in a day. They were amazed.

I remember the original program was sold from the
Moscow Access User Group site. Michael Kaplan
gave it his recommendation and he wrote a book on
VB6 Internationalization.
