Hi,
I have a template with content that can be in 3 languages. The titles
and the text in the template has to change for every language
(obviously) but the layout has to stay the same. At the moment I have
three templates: report_nl.dot, report_de.dot and report_en.dot. But
every time the layout needs tweaking I need to do that in all three
templates. Now the number of languages will probably increase so I'd
like to automate it a bit. Ideally I'd want one template, that asks
(upon 'instantiation', ie, when a document is created from the template)
in which language it should be, offering a combobox with choices, and
then makes a document in that language. Is it possible without a lot of
vbscript hacking? (I imagine I could write a macro that will search and
replace all occurences of a certain placeholder text with the actual
text in that language, but I'd like an easier way
Especially wrt
keeping the templates and texts up to date)
cheers,
roel
