Has anyone ever written something that would allow a user to "flip a switch" and automatically change the screen language? I'm thinking along these lines (I have NO idea if this is possible or even makes sense)
1. a lot of our users are Spanish speakers
2. I don't want to write two screens - one in English and one in Spanish
3. I can populate the text fields on the screen from within the program
4. If the user wants Spanish, the program should be able to take what I've already written and send it out to "Google Translate" or Watson or something using web services and come back with the correct translation which I could then use to populate the screen fields.
What do you think? Is that totally stupid?
Please let me know what you think because if it makes sense, I may pursue it - my company is big on innovation ideas.
