Hi Tony,
One possibility is to duplicate an existing English version and changing the
text fields one by one (you should probably do this once, before a
release). You could do something more cunning like a switch case for each
GUI item, but it's tedious, hard to follow and it slows down the program
run regardless of the language you have chosen (!!).
To choose a language you should display something like a drop-down menu and
then, depending on the selection, invoke the right language port of the
GUI. To call one GUI from another, see:
