Cancel / OK non-English Buttons

Question

Hi all,
As well known when a dialog button string is "OK" or "Cancel" a default action occurs (1 is returned for OK and 2 for Cancel)
Is this true for non-English versions of Indesign?
I would presume let's say on the German version of InDesign on the built-in dialogs one see the terms OK and Abbrechen but does Cancel work? And out of curiosity does "Abbrechen" work?
var w = new Window('dialog'),
    b1 = w.add('button', undefined, "OK"),
    b2 = w.add('button', undefined, "Cancel");
alert((w.show() == 1) ? "OK" : "Cancel");
Thanks
Trevor

Hi @Trevor,
why you don't use the default elements? (And sorry for my bad german english)
var w = new Window('dialog');
b1 = w.add('button', undefined, "OK");
b2 = w.add('button', undefined, "Abbrechen");
w.defaultElement = b1;
w.cancelElement = b2;
alert((w.show() == 1) ? "OK" : "Abbrechen");
Another way could be to use the localize data:
strButtonRun = localize( "$$$/JavaScripts/ImageProcessor/Run=Run" );
strButtonCancel = localize("$$$/JavaScripts/ImageProcessor/Cancel=Cancel");
var w = new Window('dialog');
b1 = w.add('button', undefined, strButtonRun); // you can also use "OK" instead of strButtonRun, this is really ok for germans
b2 = w.add('button', undefined, strButtonCancel);
w.defaultElement = b1;
w.cancelElement = b2;
alert((w.show() == 1) ? strButtonRun : strButtonCancel);
(This is borrowed from the ImageProzessor.jsx)
"Run" in german means "Ausführen" and not "OK", but you can really use "OK" for that instead.
This way can be helpful for your international scripts – or not?
