TFormatSettings.Translations Property

Translations Property

property Translations: TStringList

Available In: Client and Server Applications

Specifies the translations for all strings used in components/controls and error/warning/information messages as key-value pairs. In order to translate one or more strings, simply reference the string ID using the Values property and assign it a new value. For example, the following will translate the text used for the OK button on message dialogs to a new value:

FormatSettings.Translations.Values['DLG_BTN_OK']:='Okey-Dokey';

The following strings are pre-defined in the framework and can be translated to suit your needs:
