This advice is probably correct. I know you can write
programs in other languages using "language catalogs"
that you can create for different languages. I've never
done it. And I notice the documentation for language
catalogs is missing in IDL 8.0, so I don't know if this
feature has disappeared or whether it is just no longer
documented. I read about it in the IDL 7 on-line help
by looking up "language catalog".

Cheers,

David
