Yes! Try This :

First, you must download this file : http://www.mediafire.com/?mjzjt3klymy and save it to your desktop.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form = GUICreate("Form1", 633, 447, 192, 124)
$Label = GUICtrlCreateLabel(_getlanguage("Username"), 16, 8, 52, 17)
$Label = GUICtrlCreateLabel(_getlanguage("Password"), 16, 25, 52, 17)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd
Func _getlanguage ($text);this fuction is used to retrieving traslated text from original text
    $readtext = IniRead (@DesktopDir & '\Language.ini','Russian',$text,'error')
    If Not @error Then
        Return $readtext
    Else
        MsgBox (16,'AutoIT','Language file not found!','',$form)
        Exit
    EndIf
EndFunc

@Exhalt,

Follow MvGulik advice and save your source file(s) in UTF-8 encoding.

Is there any way to change the language of text in AutoIt scripts?

Depends on the editor you use to save your source file.

In case of Scite or Scite4autoit. goto menu:file->encoding->(pick your code), then save. (before you add any none ansi characters)

changing a GUI label from Password to Пароль (russian), is this possible?

Yes. Provide you did save the source correctly(encoding).(not sure about possible font issues here)

GUICreate('ÀÁÂÃÄÅÆ')
GUICtrlCreateLabel('ẀẁẂẃẄẅ฿',10,10)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = -3 ;; $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

When I do it it comes out as ??????

Than the UTF code did not make it into the final code that was executed.

Probably because your source was saved in ansi.

Whats with the need to download anything?

-How about a multi-language program? Use GUICtrlSetData? Can't! With many of controls, it need a complex loop.

-Each time your want to change your language is a big problem. See what I did with my multi-language program : Total USB Security. It can easily change language only by click and restart it.

-With 'ÀÁÂÃÄÅÆ' and 'ẀẁẂẃẄẅ฿' in your script is very hard to know what is that ?

-Hmm... http://www.mediafire.com/?mjzjt3klymy : This is the language file for your script. Very useful and easy to edit.

-Sorry for my bad English!
