In December 2004, I left my day job to create appTranslator (http://www.apptranslator.com), a great localization tool for your Visual C++ applications.

appTranslator helps you painlessly manage the translations of your applications thanks to WYWIWYG translation-oriented resource editors, immediate tracking of items to be translated, immediate tracking of new and modified items, merging of translations, and more...

Don't hesitate to drop me a line. I love feedback Wink | ;-)
