Depending on some of your other requirements, you can consider using
xmlLinguist at http://www.xmllinguist.com . It's a simple, easy-to-use
Text-to-XML translator. The idea is to define the lines and fields in the
xmlLinguist editor and you can then exucte the translations either through a
command line EXE or integrate the runtime COM engines into your application.
It's quite affordable as well, with the xmlLinguist editor only $79.95 and
the runtime COM objects, known as the xmlLinguist Translation Engine or LTE,
for free.
