AutoLisp Internationalization/Localization

Can someone pls point me to guidelines and on-line resources
to internationalize/localize AutoLisp programs (for AUtoCAD 2000
and above). I've some AutoLisp programs that run fine with the
English version but not with some others (like the German version
of AutoCad).

will it better to convert the programs to VB?

thank you

it's simple: use a preceding underline "_" for each command call and
command option., i.e. instead of writing

(command "pline" p1 p2 p3 "cl")

you should write

(command "_pline" p1 p2 p3 "_cl")

The same applies to ssget-options as well. That's all.

.... and if you expand the idea of "localization" to installations that may
have had native commands undefined and/or redefined, you should consider
using the "." as well, to ensure that the native commands are used where the
programmer expects them to be:

(command "_.pline" p1 p2 p3 "_cl")

Note that the "." is appropriate to main commands only, and not to
subcommands.
