    Looking for "multilanguage tecnique"

    Hello, I'm developing an application with VisualC++, and I need to use strings in more than one language. Until now, I wrote only English text labels, controls or messages, directlyin the code. Now I must be able to show the same texts in other languages. I need this to be a runtime choice, also, so I can't only compile different versions.

    I don't know which could be the best solution....I'm wondering if I should use, for example, resource strings (and, in this case, HOW to use them), or make a global text buffer with strings in different languages having different offsets, or any other solution if possible.

    Thanks very much for any hint.

    You can add into the resource text strings and later load them with LoadString. Also you use a INI file or XML files to store text string.
