   What I do is have a routine in my main menu form that checks for the current   
   language setting (assigned by the user on first opening and stored in a setting   
   table). That language has a numeric code. Then my prompt table is opened on the   
   language code index and setranged. Each object has a label ID assigned and a   
   library is called to set the labels on each form as it opens. Since the label   
   is retrieved by integer and the prompts in each language have the same integer   
   for each object, once the prompt table is open and properly ranged to one   
   language, the correct language prompts are assigned. The user also has a change   
   language option once the main form is open. This changes the setting, reranges   
   the prompt table and reassigns the prompts. As other forms open all they have   
   to do is assign the prompts since the language table is already ranged.   
   Basically, you can have have objects assign themselves on opening. On the main   
   menu I use a custom method that assigns all objects because of the need to be   
   able to relable if a user calls the change language option. Obviously this   
   means having object names. In the forms where the objects call their own labels   
   you only need Self.labletext or whatever you are assigning the text to or you   
   can do it the same way as you do your main form.   
      
   This, for example, would be the call in the main menu in a custom method called   
   in init.   
      
   TitleBox.text = lbUtils.cmSetPrompt(16)   
      
   WelcomeTitle = lbUtils.cmSetPrompt(17)   
      
   tab1.text = lbUtils.cmSetPrompt(18)   
   tab2.text = lbUtils.cmSetPrompt(19)   
   tab3.text = lbUtils.cmSetPrompt(20)   
   tab4.text = lbUtils.cmSetPrompt(21)   
   tab5.text = lbUtils.cmSetPrompt(22)   
      
   CurrentUserLabel.text = lbUtils.cmSetPrompt(83)   
      
   //Button labels   
   btnCloseForm.labeltext = lbUtils.cmSetPrompt(23)   
   btnOpenProfiles.labeltext = lbUtils.cmSetPrompt(26)   
   btnTextTrans.labeltext = lbUtils.cmSetPrompt(27)   
   btnLUEdit.labeltext = lbUtils.cmSetPrompt(28)   
   btnSwapProfiles.labeltext = lbUtils.cmSetPrompt(66)   
   btnSetUserDefault.labeltext = lbUtils.cmSetPrompt(93)   
   btnUserProfiles.labeltext = lbUtils.cmSetPrompt(154)   
   btnTestTrans.labeltext = lbUtils.cmSetPrompt(163)   
      
   strBtn1 = lbUtils.cmSetPrompt(133)   
   btnVwR1.labeltext = strBtn1   
   btnPrnR1.labeltext = strBtn1   
      
      
   strErrorMsg1 = lbUtils.cmSetPrompt(24)   
   strErrorMsg2 = lbUtils.cmSetPrompt(25)   
   strErrorMsg3 = lbUtils.cmSetPrompt(98)   
   strErrorMsg4 = lbUtils.cmSetPrompt(43)   
      
   The custom method they are calling is simply:   
   method cmSetPrompt(liPromptID Longint) string   
   if tcPrompttext.locate("PromptID",liPromptID) then   
   return  tcPrompttext.prompt   
   else   
      
   Return "Not Found"   
   endif
