Labels in different languages
Well there it is. I now have the need to present views and forms in two different languages to a customer. This is a go or no go thing for him. I cannot see any other solution than to have to distinct databases in different languages, but it is not what he wants. He is thinking of having two different sets of people using the system in 2 different countries. I cannot see anyway to have labels change dinamically givena global setting so what can I do?
Any ideas?

You can also hide the labels(but name them in the language of the developper) of every field and put formula fields instead for displaying the label with a value depending on the language setting.
e.g. : if I have a 'Settings' table with a choice field 'Language' containing 4 options like 1 English - 2 French - 3 German - 4 Dutch you can set up your formula for the labels like this:switch record(Settings,1).Language do
case 1:
"Company"
case 2:
"Interprise"
case 3:
"Unternehmen"
case 4:
"Firma"
endStyling the formula fields with the same background color as the form and hiding the labels of themselves would display them like they are labels.
