SUMMARY
To aid you in writing multiple-language resources, the Win32 development system supports language scripts.

MORE INFORMATION
To create a multiple language script, first create a single-language script file (American English, for example), and duplicate the translations in your script file. You need a complete translation only once for each major language. Only those resources that have differences between the major language and the sublanguage need be included in the sublanguage areas of the script. The system will use the main language resource if it doesn't find a resource for the sublanguage.

Sample Code
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH,SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH,SUBLANG_ENGLISH_UK  LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH,SUBLANG_ENGLISH_AUS  LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH,SUBLANG_ENGLISH_CAN  LANGUAGE LANG_FRENCH,SUBLANG_FRENCH  LANGUAGE LANG_FRENCH,SUBLANG_FRENCH_CAN  LANGUAGE LANG_FRENCH,SUBLANG_FRENCH_SWISS  LANGUAGE LANG_FRENCH,SUBLANG_FRENCH_BELGIAN  LANGUAGE LANG_SPANISH,SUBLANG_SPANISH  Additional query words: 3.10 3.50
