I have a Word template with added menus, toolbars, forms, etc. Now I am
supporting languages other than English.
The problems come when I need to refer to Word menu items in my user
interface or documentation. For example, I might need to tell users to go to:
Menu: Help > SpecialTemplate Help
or
Menu: Insert > SpecialTemplate Symbols...
Needed: "Help" or "Insert" in other languages (Spanish, French, German, etc.).
Where can I find a reference that shows the menus and dialog boxes for Word
in different languages?
Are there other resources available for those of us who need to support Word
in multiple languages?
Approaches tried or unlikely to work:
***************************
"Microsoft Terminology" is not Word-specific and does not cover menus.
Examples of things not covered: what to call a "tab" on a MultiPage object,
Word menus.

Buying the multi-lingual version of MS Office with all the language packs
needed as I need to support Word 97, 2000, 2002, 2003 and soon 2007 (unless
this can be done without great expense)
