Re: Best way to localize text?

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough in my original post :? , I'm just talking about handling tables of strings in different languages that are already translated. Just bog standard language settings.

I'm not sure if making the string table local would be suitable? (Not sure what advantages / disadvantages come with making...
