Rather pointless,

This review is from: The Gui Guide: International Terminology for the Windows Interface/Book and Disk (Microsoft Programming Series) (Paperback)
International word lists were an interesting appendix to 1995's "The Windows Interface Guidelines for Software Design," but two years earlier were put together for this book. It presents Windows 3.1 terms translated to 14 languages, sorted both by alphabet and by category. These lists seem a big waste of space, especially as they're also present on an attached diskette. However, first thirty pages slightly redeem the book, containing a condensed round-up of popular and obscure graphical elements of Windows 3.1 -- with a lot of illustrated examples.
