Localizing .XCB files

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

My method is to loop through all of the controls after loading the .xcb and use the caption to do translation to localize it.

My entire application does its localization based on loading a .txt
file (from a resource by default but can load a file if a registry
setting exists telling it to)

The file contains lines like

FILE_OPEN=&Open

FILE_EXIT=E&xit

and such, and in my XCB the commands are just labeled like FILE_OPEN
and stuff.  The tooltips and long descriptions are blank in the
XCB and are loaded from txt files at the same time the caption itself
is.

	Was just wondering if anybody had any experience in localizing .xcb files or have developed these files with Localization in mind ? Some the standard localization tools, such as Alchemy Catalyst, do not handle these files. Edited by Borussia
