Hello,

I am trying to find a simple and robust way to translate an
application I have into 2 or more languages.

I am using BCB6 to compile write it. I need to translate string in
the code units (wich can be easy using #defines) and also the string in
the objects of each form the program has.

My solution would be to initialize all fields to be translated on the
form constructor, with a define to control wich language I want.

E.g:

__fastcall TFormMy::TFormMy(TComponent* Owner)
: TForm(Owner)
{
#ifdef LANG1
Caption = "Title in LANG1";
#elif defined LANG2
Caption = "Title in LANG2";
#endif
}

But I think there may be a better way to do it, though I can´t find
it. A way to handle the resource files generated when I create the
forms... but I have no clue.

Any help, pointers or ideas appreciated.

Regards,

Andre
