Is it possible to write aplication (VFP 6 - for W9x, WNT/2K) and store 3 (or
more) language dependend (english, russian, polish ...) fields in one table,
display them >>simultaneously<< on the screen, print ...?
Thanks,
Andrzej

Andrzej,

I can't answer directly, but you might consider Steve Black's INTL Toolkit.

For the user interface you can use INTL. For contents of tables, you
must roll your own solutions, but you can use INTL maybe also for
descriptions. Best bet is to put all texts in your database in a
seperate table, with an ID in the original table pointing to this
seperate texttable. In the texttable, you add an ID and a language code,
and the text. Maybe you can also use the structures of INTL. That uses
seperate fields for every translation. Buy INTL if you want to use
multiple languages on you screen, and maybe you can use it also for
fields.

Sure. The Tastrade example that ships with VFP does this. I suggest you look
at it to see how to setup your tables.
