New Project IV

I'm currently looking at the field labels on the various forms and putting the "hooks" in place to permit captions in any Latin script (exempli gratia, what if someone asks for Italian?).

Not a quick job, then, but because it entails re-visiting almost the entire system, it has already unearthed a few daft bugs ... and no doubt there will be more!

So, inshallah it will all be worthwhile, if only because of that.

Most likely (apart from a few easy ones for the purpose of proving the method), I will leave the various "translations" blank ... and let the users fill them in for themselves. That should keep them quiet for a few days, at least! I have also included a "custom" column, so that users can change labels to any ASCII characters that their little hearts desire! So (for instance), if they don't like the word Equipment, but prefer to use Device (or System, Kit, or Junk ... or whatever), then that will be up to them.
