An application that is localized into several languages has separate
message catalogs, VPLUS forms files, and other language-dependent data
files for each of these languages. Establish a naming convention for
these files that follows the language numbering used by NLS. To do this,
use a file name that is up to five identifying characters followed by a
three-digit language number, corresponding to the language of the file
contents. (For example, the original, unlocalized data might be stored
in a file whose name is FILE000; the FILE008 would contain the same data
modified for German; and FILE012 would contain SPANISH data.) It is the
responsibility of the application program to determine, at run time,
which file to open. Once the language number is determined,
the NLAPPEND intrinsic may be used to form the file name if this
convention is followed.
