Translating Microsoft DDV verification strings into German

Environment: VC 4.0 / 4.2b, Win 95, NT 3.51 / 40

I am trying to get my application under the German Language, meaning
all text (strings, dialogs, etc.) are translated to German.  I have my
resources (dialogs, strings, etc.) translated and reside in a resource
only DLL.  I am running my application under Windows 95 - German.  All
is fine with the exception of strings that Microsoft builds.

What I mean exactly is the following. I have a validation on an integer
that
I set with 
	DDV_MinMaxUInt(pDX, m_station, 0, 376);
in the DoDataExchange. If the validation fails, the message 
	'Please enter an integer between 0 and 376.'
is displayed in a dialog box with an OK button.  This message is not in my
resource.  It was created by Microsoft.  However, when running under
Windows
95 - German, the message remains in English.  The standard print dialogs
and
find/replace dialogs are all in German.

What do I need to do to get this string translated?

I have July MSDN.

Complete source for this module is below.

Thank you,

Dennis

Look in your .rc file for your project.  There is a reference to
"afxres.rc".  That file needs to be in German... or rather, replaced by one
that's in German.  I don't think you particularaly want to mangle that file.
Kick around in your .rc file and I think you'll see what to do.  If there's
an automated way to do it from the development environment, I don't know it.
I've not actually done anything multi-lingual under Windows 95, but was
semi-fun under 3.1x.  Good luck.

In my installation I find the German resources (.rc) in the directory
MSDEV\MFC\include\l.deu

If you build a German version of your program with _statically_
_linked_  libraries, I am sure you will get all the resources in
German. 

If you use shared libraries, you must install a German version of
these libraries in your Windows\System directory. Otherwise
you will be using the default english versions.
