Hi,

I have a problem with other language(ex: Spanish, French...) Microsoft
ODBC Drivers.

My application has to support 16 different languages. I am making a
user friendly GUI for ODBC administrator to create and edit DSNs( I
know it sounds stupid but it is a requirement). I am using
SQLConfigDataSource function is doing it.

SQLConfigDataSource needs a driver descriptor as a parameter when
creating a new DSN. Driver description (usually the name of the
associated DBMS) presented to users instead of the physical driver
name.

Ex: "Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)"

Microsoft also has issued other language descriptions in german,
spanish etc

Ex: Driver do Microsoft Access (*.mdb) in spanish, Microsoft Access-
Treiber (*.mdb) in german

The problem is if we create a DSN using one language descriptor we
cant assess it using other language descriptor. How can I solve this
problem.

I tried to get all the drivers present in the local system but I dont
know all the descriptors name for 16 languages for 6 drivers I am
supporting. To compare them with the drivers list which may be present
in users systems.

Can some one help me out on this issue.

Regards,
Shashi
