Translation management is integrated in the Gambas interpreter.

Each string written in your source code that is enclosed between two 
parenthesis is translatable.

For example:

PRINT "X = 3" ' This string won't be translated

PRINT ("Description of the Place:") ' This string will be translated

Of course, each Text property of any control in any forms, each tooltip, each 
label, ... are translatable too.

Then you just have to click on the "Project->Translate" menu to get a dialog 
that allows you to translate your strings in (almost) any language! Look at 
"How to translate Gambas" in the wiki. It is exactly the same process, as the 
Gambas IDE is a Gambas project.

The translation are automatically integrated in your project (in the .lang 
subdirectory).
