RB language support

edited May 2005 in General
Hallo,

I localize an application containing RBuilder (D6; RB6.03).
The TPPReport has a property, where I can set several languages(for in
stance status messages, print dialog and so on).
Obviously I have to deploy a lot of files from the system directory
(undocumented!?).

e.g.: for an italian version

rbrcl66.bpl !? (definitly compiled without runtime packages)
rbDADE.cst
rbDADE.dft
rbDADE.ita
rbDADE.cst
rbDADE.dft
rbDADE.ita
rbIDE.cst
rbIDE.dft
rbIDE.ita
rbPrint.cst
rbPrint.dft
rbPrint.ita

For any other language another 4 files.
I don't need to deploy all these files when using only the default
language, because the resources for the default languages are linked to the
exe-file.

Is there a way to link all the other files too?
Or can I set the text strings by getting an event?

    Hi Thomas,

    Unfortunately with the current archetecture of the ReportBuilder language
    resources, it is not possible to link in multiple language resource files
    into the same .exe file.

    Hello,

    give WWW.MULTILIZER.COM a try. It is a translationtool (unicode), that can
    produce all Languageresources inside the exe. Also it can Produce one exe
    per languages and it can produce languages Resource-DLLs. XC.EN, xy.ES and
    so on). All those methodes will also wirk with Reportbuidler and other
    toolboxes.

    We are using this tool since one year and are very happy. You get also a
    free distribution licence for all the translaters and can merge there work
    to your project file. All is wysivig so you also see your dialogs and
    forms.

    Under http://www.eulanda.de/inside/entwicklerhandbuch/language/Default.htm
    you will find the multilizer userinterface and a short discription to the
    translation modul in 5 languages.
