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

The text in the buttons is set by the operating system. If you run in
the OS in a language other than English the text will change but there
is no way to change it in IDL. Also, regardless of the language the
OS is using, IDL will always report English strings like "yes" and
"no".
