Language Recommendations

---

If you are developing a Web Application interface in multiple languages, it is recommended to use a common "look-and feel" in all languages. This approach will reduce your maintenance effort significantly.

Start by using the Wizard to define your presentation interface in the default language. When you are satisfied with the presentation interface in the default language (including layout, menus, colors scheme, menu features) run your application in an alternate language. Take note of the text and images requiring translation. The only Wizard generated objects which include text are the Standard and DHTML menus. Next, generate the menus in your alternate language based on the default language. No other components associated with the presentation interface need to be language specific.
