I have hardcode this, the available translations for my project are known, so why not implement it like this, and the add a language to the code when I have made a new one. Main.sLanguage holds locale from settings ' set language and run application PUBLIC FUNCTION Main() AS Boolean ' load program settings Main.GetConfig() ' set language System.Language = Main.sLanguage ' open main form FMain.Show() END Change settings form: SELECT CASE Main.sLanguage CASE "en_US.UTF-8" cmbLanguage.Text = "English" pbLanguage.Picture = Picture["icons/en.png"] CASE "nl_NL.UTF-8" cmbLanguage.Text = "Dutch" pbLanguage.Picture = Picture["icons/nl.png"] END SELECT SELECT CASE cmbLanguage.Text CASE "English" Main.sLanguage = "en_US.UTF-8" pbLanguage.Picture = Picture["icons/en.png"] CASE "Dutch" Main.sLanguage = "nl_NL.UTF-8" pbLanguage.Picture = Picture["icons/nl.png"] END SELECT Not the best way maybe, but it seems to work ok. Apart from this problem, the user should have the correct locale installed otherwise he will get this error in console (ide only) when he choose a language in my app: WARNING: cannot switch to language 'nl_NL.UTF-8'. Did you install the corresponding locale? He needs to do apt-get install language-pack-nl-base first then. I have no idea how to catch this (apart from documenting it) Regards, Ron_2nd ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
