Multi-language forms (suggestion for future version)

I can't be the only person who needs the same form in many different languages.
Forms using a lot of conditional logic get quite complicated. At the moment I am duplicating the form and then getting each element translated. I then end up with a whole series of the same form, each storing user data in different places.
The problems really start when some fields or information changes. I then have to duplicate the changes across the many forms. With some languages - especially Japanese and similar, it is meticulous work when you don't actually have a clue what you are reading!
If each element were stored in a database or in a translation file to which we had access, it would be a much simpler task to change say the field title for field 56 in the Japanese version. In fact it would be a dream compared with what is necessary at the moment.
Machform is brilliant, but I have to say that if I found the above in a different product of the same quality, I would have no choice but to switch tomorrow. And since I don't want to do that, I hope this suggestion might find support among other users who have the same problem.
