Goal

• The user inputs the name of a person in a textbox. The application should then display a greeting to that person in one of four languages.

Details

1. Your application should contain six controls:
   • A textbox to input the name.

   • A button with the label "Greet in English".

   • A button with the label "Greet in French".

   • A button with the label "Greet in German".

   • A button with the label "Greet in Spanish".

   • A textbox to display the greeting.

   • A picture box displaying an image of your choice. The image is static; it need not be changed when a button is clicked. Do not use my EarthFromMoon image; find a new image on the web or anywhere else. If you wish, you may use four images, one for each language. Set the SizeMode property of the picture box to StretchImage.

2. When a button is clicked, it should display a greeting in the chosen language, to the name in the name textbox. You may include a new line character if you wish to facilitate the display. For example, if the name is Kevin, these are sample greetings in the four languages listed above.
   • Good day. How are you, Kevin?

   • Bon jour. Comment ça va, Kevin?

   • Guten Tag. Wie gehen Sie, Kevin?

   • Buenos Dias. ¿Como estás, Kevin?

   You should have a different event handler for each button.

   Here is a sketch of the application form drawn with Visio. The image is on the left. Feel free to modify the layout.

   

   You can copy the French and Spanish sentences with special characters and paste them directly into your source code. If you ever need to create other special characters, first create an MS-Word document, insert the special ASCII characters into that document, then copy and paste them into your source code.

3. You can substitute or add other languages if you wish. There must be at least four buttons to display greetings in different languages.
