Hi All! In the midst of all the Y2K fuzz, here's an urgent request. Please - all who post MBX freebies or utilites to our FTP site, please consider us who are working in non-english versions of MapInfo. I can cope with menus and help texts in english or whatever, that is not the problem. _What then?_ *References to menus and Button Pads by name.* For example, if you add a button to "Tools" it will have no effect in my version, since that pad is named "Verktyg" in Swedish. However, they do have the same number, namely ID 3. The same scheme goes for menus. When contributors supply the source code, I have been able to fix this at times, but not all authors do. And I do not suggest that this should not be necessary. _How can we help then?_ *By referencing to menus and button pads by ID number.* This is the intended method to make MB applications language independent, and I would want all contributors to the MI FTP site to consider the global scope of our list and code accordingly. If you want to create fully localized versions of your apps, I'd be glad to (as time permits) to render into swedish your menus or dialog boxes. Best wishes for the new year!
