INTL for VFP is Hassle Free

INTL is a snap to integrate into new and existing applications. Simply do the following things:

• Create an INTL object early in the application
• Add a line to your baseform INIT() to message INTL
• Make GENMENUX your menu generator
• Build your application
• Voila, you are basically done and ready to give a very credible demo to your boss or customer! 

Other things that come up include finish and polish issues like:

• Make your controls wide enough to display translations
• Some VFP services come from VFP, others from Windows, so you may need localized versions of these in your final on-site installations. See Downloads for GOTCHAS, a utillity that audits your project for instances of the known issues. These issues are also listed in my VFP International Issues page to get an idea of some of the no-nos you may have coded in your application. GOTCHAS will find all these for you.
• Expunge hard-coded messages from your applcation. See  Downloads for a public-domain version of MsgSvc to see how that works.
