Multi-language support question

We have an MFC application that uses ADO, ATL components to communicate with
a SQL Server 2000 database.

Our application is currently English only and we are making the conversion
to support multiple languages.   The text in the application is read in from
a table so translating the text itself won't be a big deal programmatically.
The text is loaded at log in and we can just autoswitch to the appropriate
data based upon who the user is.    My concerns are with different character
sets, how the different languages impact the OS (how we set the character
set in the OS automatically), does ADO have any issues with using multiple
languages, etc.

This is new to us.

Any direction on some good white papers or other on-line resources to guide
us through this process?

Thanks much.

Eric
