Is this true? I know it is true for property *** buttons (because they are not in the .rc file), and of dialogs like the open file dialog (which come from the operating system) but is it true of dialog buttons? Surely not (their text is specified in the .rc file).

Personally, I do not like this feature. If my app is in English, I would like everything to be in English, partly because my user guide is in English. In fact, I deliberately set the text of property *** buttons to English in order that my help system matches the actual application.

By the way, what do you do to test the French version of your app? Do you have a real French version of Windows on another machine, or do you change your settings? Or neither?
