Re: R: multilanguage questionaire

Hi Luca, hi Joel,

by the second approach form you, Joel (One brancing lines which=20
converges in the end) is the "problem" - or not nice thing - that I have=20
to write such things like button text or message in both languages on=20
the last page. There is no mechanism like "if" to put out different=20
questions or text and the text on the button can I specify only once,=20
hmm. If I use Perl I have to rebuilt all questions in HTML.

To use the include mechanism sounds good, Luca. Do you use the same last=20
page for both languages?
