David | I've been approached by a reseller to resell my program in another language.
What is the easiest way to convert a program to run in two or more languages? |

But maybe, like me, you do *not* find paying to be easy! Check out the codegear ngs, I am fairly sure they have one for internationalization. D2009 has improved tools built-in and I think some earlier versions also included tools. Then there are the free tools such as 'gettext', 'poedit', .. hundreds swear by them. Then there are some commercial component sets like 'TsiLang' (the one I use) that can wrap it all together. If your program has a lot of text to be translated it will not be a trivial task. I think you need to look at several systems and decide which best fits, based on your existing skills and those of the person(s) doing the translations. Google for the above 'words', HTH Malcolm -- |

Post in the CG ngs --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have information about how to desing UI and other stuff from http://www.sisulizer.com/support/developers-corner/preparing-delphi.shtml I am currently writing new document covering Delphi 2009. More information from http://software-localization.blogspot.com/ Of cource I am not 100% objective in this issue but my option is that the most important features of a localization tools are: - It can localize eveything: forms, strings, pictures, fonts, IME, etc - It shows forms including inherited forms and frames correctly without development tool. - This same is available for translator without any development tool - You can import and export data - You can check that your translations are right (spell checking, format pattern checking, etc) Sisulizer can do all this and it is written in Delphi and localized to 12 languages including Asian languages.

Lance Rasmussen Jazzie Software Team Elevate | There are some tools, like Sisulizer that help make things easier. Still
need someone to translate, though. Lance "David" <dpuett@mac.com> wrote in message news:C5049750.30337%dpuett@mac.com... > I've been approached by a reseller to resell my program in another > language. > > What is the easiest way to convert a program to run in two or more > languages? > |
