Displaying labels in another language when opening Card

[liveme]

Hi,

I'm interested in having my desktop app into several language,

I could translate labels of buttons and Title of Datagrid too which is just what I need so far.
For this I simple put all my script "label to Spanish" etc in a Language button.
Limits : This only works on the Active (or open) Stack/card...

1rst Problem,
How can I set a language param for the Whole App. at once ?

I d like any existing card(s) to "read" the (user's) defined choice
and instanlty display all (hard coded translation) labels,titles, etc... in their favorite lang.

My working code so far is: (in each Lang button)

Code: Select all

  
 set the label of button "ButtonA" to  "buscar"
 set the dgColumnLabel [ColA] of Group Listing to "Nombre"

I guess there might be other ways to process the translation needs...but I just starting here !
