International Sophisticates-
 
Does anyone have a recipe for localizing MacApp 3-based applications for Roman
language markets? For now, we're shooting at producing a demo version of our
app that will speak Italian in a few short weeks.
 
We already have our in-house code prepped: all Americanisms are in resources
(dialogs, error messages, etc.). There are parts of MacApp that overlap with
our code, specifically error messages. It looks like a few changes to
ErrorMgr.r will solve most of that problem. But what of the rest of MacApp?
 
If anyone has already gone through this process, we would greatly appreciate
receiving any tips, hints, etc. you might be able to supply.
 
So far our process has included global searches for occurrences of ",' and 0x,
and thorough siftings through .r files. We are also working on getting our
hands on the system software and keyboards for specific markets.
