Is it possible to automatically change the language of my Flare output based on the IE language settings?
would be great if someone could help me out on this...

Re: Multi Language
Not from within Flare or Lingo. Are you trying to do context-sensitive help or just point to the main help system page?
If I were trying to do this I'd point the help files at a script (I'd probably use PHP because that is what I know, and my stuff goes on a web server, so that works for me YMMV). The link to the PHP would include a variable that would point to the right context sensitive page when the script was done.
Then, I'd use PHP to figure out what the browser language is. (I don't know how to do this, but I imagine it is possible.) Then based on the browser language, I'd redirect to the localized help system. I'd pass back out the variable for the context-sensitive help call, so that the app would open in the right language on the context-sensitive help page.
So, from a high level I believe it is possible. You just need to write the script that does the work. It doesn't even really sound all that hard, if you know a bit about a scripting language.
