Hi Jeremy, Well i have done the translation of my Application from English to french. Basically what i did was i moved all the strings to resource files. And then used Multilser to does the converstion.
Yeah sometiems it gives weired meaning when i tried converting to languages like Hebrew . But It For french it worked alright for me. And to convert to resource string model maker proved handy too for me..
