Currently the language choice will be sent to the applet via the static 
html of the main NDT page, e.g. the operator would do something like 
this at configuration time:

  <PARAM NAME="language" VALUE="fr">
  <PARAM NAME="country" VALUE="FR">

The French properties file would then be loaded.  Having a select box to 
pass the value to applet is probably possible, would your or BELNET be 
able to contribute something to do this?  If not, your help in providing 
the translation would still be very appreciated.

Thanks;
