Hi Martha,

Our translation company translates the text strings for the screens
(usually in csv files, sometimes in txt files), and our controls group
places the translated strings in the screens. Then we (either I or the
controls group) save the screens as jpg's, and I import them into our
documents.

HTH,
Lisa B.

"Writing about yourself is a tremendously powerful exercise. If you want to
know how accurately you perceive reality in the present, try writing about
your perception of your past. You just might discover an entirely new
reality."--Lisa Bronson
