| re: Application language translation
That google translation gadget looks very impressive but I have no idea what quality the translation is going to end up being.
I would recommend moving all of your prompts into resx files. Once you've done that send all of the prompts off to a translation company and they will "automatically" translate the words for you! (Depending on the company translations can range from 10cents to 25cents per word CAN dollars). This will save you a lot of time and will probably be a lot more "correct" than any automated translation tool.
I've learned that the subtle differences in language translations are very important to pay attention to. It could mean the difference between being vulgar and polite depending on the culture/region of the language.
Although the google translation gadget is very cool (I'd check it out), I would probably advise against it if your application is being used for professional purposes.
