Hi,

in the cdocument-class of my sdi-application, I load a xml file (in
the CMIAppDoc::OnNewDocument() method) where all user-specific-data
are located. I`ve also installed a few satellite dllls to support
several languages.

BOOL CMIAppDoc::OnNewDocument()
{
        if (!CDocument::OnNewDocument())
                return FALSE;

                  //load xml file
                  if(XmlFile.LoadUserXml(strFileName))
        {

                  }

}

Among other things the xml file has the information which satellite
dll should be loaded at startup.

I take a look at some multiple language projects, where the satellite
dll is always loaded in the cmainframe class.

As far as these DLLs are concerned, even this is too late. You should
load that as soon as possible, e.g. in InitInstance. That's where MFC
loads it's own langauge resources, too.

As for XML file, is this document-related, or app-related? If document-
related, it's bad that you have language info in there. Did you see
e.g. Word, or any similar app to change it's UI language when you open
another file? It's possible, but reasonable? I doubt that. I think
that you should put language info elsewhere.
