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
