   Hallo Dirk,   
      
   1. Only one entry. I did that myself, and for my own need. System 6.x has none   
   by default, I wrote one for French.   
   2.One would need to create a $8021 resource, with ID 0FFF06xx where xx is the   
   language code.   
      
   But, there is a problem, language code would need to begin with value 3 as 1   
   and 2 are reserved by the system. Here, 3 would mean UK, 4 would mean FR.   
      
   Why? Because the language code is grabbed from a menu and menu items from the   
   same sys.resource file. But the values are +1 compared to the language code   
   (eg. 4 in the menu for French when the language code for French is 3). So,   
   0FFF0608 would be the key    
   translation table for German.   
      
   I wonder whether one could write a unique resource to cover all languages in   
   one table. I mean, ยจ then u would be the right value for a lot of European   
   languages.
