Hi Aaron, As Ben pointed out I'm working on a different way to do localization, well, actually I just want to do language translation. A blog entry I wrote about this can be found here http://brianjoseph31.typepad.com/smashedapples/2007/09/sweet-flex-tr-1.h tml And i'm getting a bit further on it every day. My ultimate goal is to store translations in a database and not have to deal with any xml files or properties files. I haven't released the source code of what I got done because its' not ready, but if you'd like to see it and contribute to it ( I'm gonna release it open source) I'd be more than willing to send you the code. just contact me offlist. brian..

I'm looking into localization for an app, and one of my concerns is that every piece of text has to be in the correct language for a region. en, fr, etc. But there is quite a bit of text. So instead of having a .properties files for all these different languages for every piece of text. Can I just localize the flex components and just load the corresponding text from a language XML file. So an english xml, french xml, etc. That way instead of having to access a resource bundle with a key/val pair for a specific piece of text, I can just assign the corresponding text from xml to the .text property or .label, etc? I guess I don't see why I would absolutely have to use ResourceBundle's except for localizing the flex components.
