Your example is a good one and I agree there, but I do think it's for users to. For example, the whole reason I noticed the translation issue, was in my TStringGrid mediator. I displayed records (actually objects) that have a IsActive boolean property. The display mediator I use translates booleans to strings, displays TDateTime in the user specific format, displays TDateTime = 0 (ridiculous 1899-12-30 date) into something more user understandable, displays currencies as the users specified etc... Anyway, all worked except for the English True/False strings (from TTaxRate.IsActive property) return by BoolToStr() which should have been in Afrikaans. Or at least I expected it to be in Afrikaans or whatever other locale was active.
