    An external eeprom can be solving. But I am using 16F876A and I am using 4 bit LCD. And I want to solve this problem with only this devices. I have to develop a good algorithm.

    Thanks a lot for the answers.

    Silly idea...could program one '876A for each language, stack the chips, bend out the MCLR pin and put a toggle switch or a DIP switch going to each MCLR. The language you select is the MCLR that's allowed to rise after power on...

    So... store your text strings in the code space and use something around the above suggestion.

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
