Translatable system?
-
Hi, I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. For our product, we need to implement a translation system for end-users. We want them to be able to change the labeling of fields and use their own "language" to make the app work for them. Different jobs take different jargon. Perhaps there is a way to achieve this using localization? Anybody wanna share their vision? Thanks in advance. Regards, Ted
Life would be so much easier if I had the source code!

I think that is the easiest aproach. But if you want end-users to translate your app, you would need to create manualy (A Lot of work). edit: typo

Normally localisation would be the best approach for this, however if you are letting the end users define their own labels etc. then I suggest adding a set of metadata management tables to your database, create some management dialogs and read all your label captions from the database. For best performance you will need to cache the metadata in memory for the duration of the application life-cycle.
