- I suspect not many of you out there have this problem, but *I* do
- and maybe you guys know of a way to fix it. I live in Quebec, and
- while the market here has a French potential, any program that
- I make would have to be in English. Problem is, there are always
- the odd requests for the French equivalent of my software. How
- does one go about designing a code that can be ported, easily, to
- any language? I tried the following approach, on a BBS package
- I wrote: put all the strings as constants. While it seemed
- feasible, I soon had to trash this idea because, on a 20,000+
- project, you soon get lost with your naming scheme of
- string-constants.
-
- I don't really want to maintain two copies of the same software
- at the same time, modifications in one are bound not to come up
- in the other version. Any ideas?
