I have a website which I recently made bilingual. All translatable text is held in resource files. For graphics that contain translatable text (such as buttons and page titles), we have a version for each language and path to each language graphic is held in the resource file as well. This all works nicely.
But now I've been told that since the site will be expanding rapidly in the coming months, they want to eliminate the work of constantly creating alternate graphics for each new button or page heading. Instead I've been asked to find a way to replace all these graphics with a plain graphic and actual text (a label I guess) superimposed over the top.
My immediate reaction was that the difficult aspect of this would be to get a solution that would look *exactly* the same in all browsers. That's why we use graphics right? Anyway, I was just wondering what you other, more experienced people think about this? Has anyone tried this before? Do you think it is achievable? Or should I go back to them and suggest we try another approach? Just asking for an opinion or two really. Thanks, Tom
