Default finding the right language
hey guys,
i have this idea that i wish to develop but i dunno which language i should pick..

the program that i wish to develop has to communicate with all sorts of other programs such as office, and adobe.

This program will have the ability to mark some text and by the help with any hot key that the user definds, it switched the marked text to the same text only in another languge.

this feature should work on all marked texts (windows, office, web, adobe etc..).

ive been having a hard time finding the right language for this project.

any help in this matter will prevent me from becoming totally insain

thank you

Should be easy:

C++ (works on all platforms)

Oh, um I was gonna mention some others, but hm maybe not. Don't want to confuse you. Go with C

The language is less important than its ability to hook into other programs. What OS are you using?

C++ would certainly work, but there are others as well.

On Linux or any other *n?x, C++ or C are the way to go. On windows... ask someone else.

Your going to find that C/C+ is the best option for you. VB.net is OK, but I think C is a more well rounded language.
