No way to set this on the fly? > (Did I mention manuals :) No, but I got 2 private messages stating "RTFM" and no other comments. They were a big help. :/ I'm beginning to think this is tougher than I thought. :/ What I'm trying to do is have my new Class be aware of the LOCALE setting and take advantage of that info to return translated strings based upon that setting.
