Marsha, thanks for your reply.
It's one of the many solutions I understand we can implement but still doesn't do what I need to do.
I'll give you an example:
The login screen has a Cancel button which has a fixed width and height.
In German "Cancel" is spelled "Stornieren" (or whatever google translate says).
Now the content of the property holding the value is OK every time: it holds either "Cancel" or "Stornieren" depending on the language being used.
So far so good, now the fixed width and height are playing here because "Cancel" is only 6 chars long whereas "Stornieren" is 10 chars long.
Now both cancelButton["WPFControlText"] properties will contain the whole word no matter how long it is. But on screen the German word might be truncated
to lets say 6 chars: "Storni".
You see why having a spreadsheet wouldn't help to actually compare what's on screen?
To compare the content itself I've got a few ideas and we even have a spreadsheet containing all the labels and error messages and so on in all different languages to be checked.
But there's no easy/straight forward way to check the whole content of a label(or any other control) is being displayed complete.
