				Thanks! 
While I think OSX has a nice approach to multi language, it's best not to use it when making crossplatform apps.
I've used Map in the past to handle multi language, kind of like Jesper's method and I thought it what quite nice!

				Sorry  
 
I overlooked that line in his post. 
He already mentioned using a Map.

				Now runs on Cocoa x64. Occasional crashes on LoadFont, and not very usable since the Canvas Input is not working yet on beta1.3

				I hope there will be a beta/trial/early version out soon. I love to test it.

Yes of course, just need to get it fully working on Cocoa 

Just for fun I tried to run it on Windows, works nicely

				Well, for Windows even if it runs it looks like OSX, I need to rework the drawing for Windows and add its subtilities with Menus and Toolbars that are inside the Windows area for instance

				Windows version!
I must say I didn't spend much time on the Windows part, and didn't do all drawings to match Windows theme, though it's usable!
So it's easier to handle, a gadget created at (0,0) coordinates will remain at (0,0) even when there's a menu or toolbar. The code viewer then adds Toolbar/MenuHeight() when required.
I need to find a way to install Linux now...

				And Linux, with the Windows UI though:
There are some GTK warnings and some bugs when resizing, and it's quite slow compared to the Windows version run on the same computer - well, the whole OS is quite slow I must say!

Linux starts and runs faster as windows 7 on my PC  

 (I use Ubuntu with Gnome-Shell and not with Unity)
I think this is a problem of your configuration  
 
Your Designer looks very well

Unfortunately I know you have to spend hundred of hours to get Linux working properly, but I just can't bother

That's simply not true: it took me less time and less hassle to install Ubuntu 12.04 on my iMac than Windows 7. And I didn't have any problems with it...
Currently I have the following operating systems in a multi-boot environment on my iMac at home (model summer 2010) and an external USB disk:
- OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) on internal drive
- OS X 10.7.4 (Lion) on external drive
- OS X 10.8.0 (Mountain Lion) on external drive
- Ubuntu 12.04 x64 and Kubuntu 12.04 x64 (selectable at login) on external drive
- Windows 7 x64 Home Premium on internal drive
Therefore my iMac is the ideal cross-platform testing machine... 
At work I have a multi-boot testbed machine with 15 different Linux x86 distributions plus Windows 7 x86 and Windows XP SP2 + SP3 for further tests.  
Update: Sorry, I had quoted part of Polo's posting and didn't see that the quote contained ts-soft as author. 

 I have corrected this mistake now. Thank you Thomas for your hint.
