multilingual challenge

A

Albert Herremans

I am living in Belgium, a small country where multi-lingual environment is a
daily must

before using PowerPoint (1998) I had a little UK developed software allowing
me to develop multi-lingual presentations, and I would like to do the same
with PowerPoint but don't see how to do that

the way it worked was as follows:

every text object was given a name with a prefix corresponding to a language
("en" for English, "fr" for French, etc.); the different copies of the same
object were superimposed

in a corner of the slide, small flags corresponding to the languages allow
to choose; when clicking on the French one, for example, all objects with
the "fr" prefix where shown on top of the others, on all slides until
another flag was choosen

and this works naturally with more than 2 languages (I went up to 4)

can I do that with PPT ? and how?
