Or you could use a computed field that calls a function object. The function object would access a global DataStore that was retrieved at app startup and contains all the string translations. The function argument would be the English version of the string.

The computed field:

f_translate('What is your name?')

The function:

ll_find = gds_translate.Find("english_value = '" + as_english + "'")

If ll_find > 0 Then

     Return gds_translate.GetItemString(ll_find, "translated_value")

Else

     Return as_english

End If

If the app is in English mode or the string is not in the translation table, it returns the English string. If the program is in Spanish mode and english_value is found, it returns "¿Que se llamas?".

For other objects like Window, you can put this into the control constructor event:

this.text = f_translate(this.text)

Or add a function to the base window that loops through the controls and calls it.

Each individual visual object within a DataWindow object has a name that you can reference. Example:

string ls_spanishText = "¿Que se llamas?"
dw_UserInfo.object.PersonName_t.Text = ls_spanishText

Alternative syntax:

string ls_spanishText = "¿Que se llamas?"
dw_UserInfo.Modify('PersonName_t.Text="' + ls_spanishText + '"')

That's all.

Hi Suchandra;

  You can modify any "TEXT" object in a DW using the "Modify" command. For example:

.Modify(".Text=''")
