The Translation Utility

This utility automates the process of developing descendent objects for multilingual applications. It reads the translation dictionary and converts the visible text to the target language and creates target objects. For example, for 'w_login' window it will create 'w_login_f' window by inheriting from 'w_login' window and replaces all the visible English words with French words. If there is no equivalent word in the translation dictionary it will prompt you. For DataWindow objects it simply makes copies of the original DataWindow objects. The good thing is that it will translate display text values for the DataWindow objects also.
