4GL Dummy Question : Multi Lingual application

Hi,

I am checking if I could use Aubit 4 GL to replace my existing Xbase 
application.
I managed  to get the compiler installed,  run "Hello World" and connect 
to my database from a simple 4GL  program.

I have read in the mean time the introduction on 4GL from informix 
(informix 4gl concepts and use) and will be starting the INFORMIX-4GL by 
Example.
What I can not find is how to make screens multilingual based on the 
users profile.

In my current Xbase program I had created a simple translation of field 
labels via the database.
E.g. when I needed to show a field label I had something like @10,10 SAY 
TR("FieldName").
This displayed the translated fieldname based on the language setting of 
the user that was currently logged in into the application and the 
screen involved.

Can this be simulated in a form definition of 4GL ?
If not via a database function, can it work with resource files ?

Kind regards

Tore
