Hello guuys (and girls if any out there)!
Until now I have been watching the development of ReactOS with great interest but as a not-so-great C/C++ programmer (especially for kernel stuff) I felt no urge to add my (for you would be worthless) comments :-) However the discussion about localizing ReactOS struck me because I think there's one thing in/for M$ Windows/Office you probably don't know about that already handles this. It is called MUI (Multilingual User Interface Pack) - read about it here: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/DrIntl/faqs/MUIFaq.mspx What it does is that it adds another combo box to Regional Settings in Control Panel and each user can choose language to its liking (from those installed of course). I can have a look at install media for few languages but as far as I remember it is only bunch of .inf & .dll (probably resources) files. So I believe there is indeed an API to achieve this. So if you're aiming for maximum compatibility with original Windows (whatever version) you should probably consider this approach. I'm home and sick now with flu but when I get well I'll research the MUI media in more detailed way and let you know...
Best regards

I want see driffnet langues in the dll and change langues on fly instead compile a dll file for each langues. I am mising that feturtuer in windows. If you look at Amiga OS (Workbench 2.0 or higher) you can change the hole os langues when it was running. in windows you are stuck with one langues.
So I think it is good idea to compile all langues into all dll file. then select in the os wich langues you want use.
