How we can change language in database?

Actually I have one task right now. The main goal of this task is to find the best approach for changing current language in database. Let's say we have lotus notes database on English language and we have to change it to Spanish / German / any other .

So, what I think, is to export this database in DXL, then we cut/took all English wording, translate them to new language, then we have to modify this DXL file and them import it back as database. It is only 1 approach, and I would be happy if anybody can propose any other.

It is really interesting for me, and I guess for other people.

Your aproach would only work if you will have the database in a Spanish only, German only etc. Version.

IBM uses the NGD Approach to achieve this goal
!!HELP!! and others have a different angle to do this but there are some quirks related to our way of doing this.

DXL full round-trip isn't working at the moment.

Global Workbench or the HELP approach. In your case Global Workbench is the way to go.
