Hello,
I am writing a macro that will be used by customers in other
countries. I don't speak those languages. Fortunately, I don't need
to to write the macro, except for one issue with page numbering. In
English, I number the pages in the format:
Page x of y (example: Page 3 of 45)
What I need to know is how to translate the phrase 'Page x of y' into
French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch and the rest of
the countries that use the Western character set. I thought of using
a software translation program, but what I really am looking for are
the phrases that are standard in the languages, and for that I think I
need the collective wisdom of UseNet readers from around the world.
Thank you very much.
John
