Is there any API function to get a translation for some common words like Yes/No/Ok/Cancel into the user's language?
I know that the messagebox_() does it, but I need it in a custom window.

I don't like this two-language-Boxes. Do everything in one language, it look better.

Yes, good point -
If they can read the message itself in the language your program is written in, they can read the buttons too.
And if they can't read the message, how would they know if they want to cancel or ok?

Yeah,
I rather dislike having "messagebox_()" using the OS language too because it looks funny when English programs have "OK" "Cancel" in Japanese.
Wonder if there is a way to set messagebox_() to a specific language?
