Hi Is there any way how to put translated strings (for standard delphi units like dbconsts) right into executable? I want to build executable that have default language other then english, but i found no way how to change strings of standard delphi units (other then create language dll, which is what i want avoid). I tried to use microsoft rc, but it does not work with rc created by delphi translation manager for some reason, and borland's brc32 wants ilink32 which i have not found in my delphi - it is delphi 7 btw. Thanks Pete Back to top Peter Beno Guest Posted: Wed Jul 09, 2003 1:48 pm    Post subject: Re: How to put translated strings into executable? Either i dont understand what is it doing, or you misunderstood me. There are some default (english) resurse strings in standrad delphi units (like in DBConsts: SFieldRequired = 'Field ''%s'' must have a value', and this is what is compiled into executable. What i want is to change it, to change what is compiled into executable, so when i run my exe (without any language dll or any .po file for getext) i get my translared message for SFieldRequired. Obviously there is one way - extract resource strig with for example visual studio, chage then and merge them back to executable. But im looking for something that can be more automatized - much more automatized :) "Lars B.

I think what you're asking for is what Multilizer (http://www.multilizer.com) is supposed to do. I am just looking into translation stuff now, too. There may be other options, but at the very least check out Multilizer. Oh, and let us/me know what you think when you decide on a solution!

No. The link I gave you makes it possible to write a full program in just one .exe file in just one language. If, for example, you want to create a German language program, where everything is in German, but you then find out that the runtime messages are English, you can use the link to make sure that the runtime messages are German, just like the rest of the program. It works like this: You add one file to your project named gnugettext.pas. This file patches the resourcestring retrieval, so that the resourcestrings from the Delphi runtime are translated when retrieved. The translations are embedded right into the .exe file, which means that you end up with only one file, the executable file. The Delphi runtime library translations can be downloaded from the site, too, for many languages. Everything you need is there to create a single exe file that only does one non-English language. This way, SFieldRequired won't become 'Field %s', but 'Felt %s' or whatever you want. Have a look again. The HOW-TO that describes exactly what you want, is here: http://dybdahl.dk/dxgettext/docs/howto-mono.php And you can download the runtime library translation for your language here: http://dybdahl.dk/dxgettext/translations/ Lars. -- Dybdahl Engineering Denmark Free GNU gettext for Delphi i18n/localization tool: http://dybdahl.dk/dxgettext/ Back to top Alexander Melnychenko Guest Posted: Thu Jul 10, 2003 12:44 pm    Post subject: Re: How to put translated strings into executable? AFAIK the simplest way to do what you want is to copy needed units to you project folder and translate them (.pas files) to German. The EXE will contain translated resourcestrings. -- Best regards, Alex Melnychenko, Localizer Team http://www.korzh.com "Peter Beno" <@> wrote Quote: Either i dont understand what is it doing, or you misunderstood me.
