Hi,

Using translations is easy. You have to create a table with an Id Column and as many columns as different languages:

Id English Spanish

1 Hello Hola

2 .... ...

Then, inside your application, use a variable to store the active language. When associating a string to an object, use the Id value instead of the string to refer the desired row of the table, and place and if to select the language depending on variable's value.
