[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Multi-language documents - how?

ctwomey@ccvax.ucd.ie (04/19/91)

I'm interested in anyones experience and advice on multiple language
documents on PCs.  I'm looking for software that will provide me with
tha facility of write documents in a number of languages using the
national character set for each country.  Initially the mainstream
European languages : French, German, English, French, Italian etc will 
suffice.  (Later Greek and some Russian languages may be used also.)

It must be necessary to change languages half way through a document and 
be able to see what is entered in some sort of wysiwyg way, maybe using
function keys to toggle between the languages....

Finally, there is a requirement that these documents can be transferred
to other sites using kermit (or some such protocol).  It would be really 
great if these documents could also be readable under VAX/VMS.

So, I'd appreciate any help anyone may be able to give me on this
subject.

Colum.
