Multi-language application

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

   Hello,
Has anyone managed to use XTLib with multi-language application? I mean the application which can change GUI language on user demand.
I've written such app, using language resources, but after switching language, Xtreme components are still in English, so I see following solutions:

Compile XTLib for each language using resources in the Xtreme distribution, but in this case I have to prepare separate install for each language or put all libs (very big) in install and choose one of them when installing, don't like it.
Create separate language resource DLLs for Xtreme and switch XT's resource handle on fly, but it requires some changes in XT sources (I'd like to have English resources in the base XTLib, and only other languages in separate DLLs) including some ugly hacks.
Include XT resources in my resource DLLs, and make XT use it. Didn't try it yet, but I'm afraid it will confuse my translators because they will see more resources than it's necessary to translate (we're using RLTOOL for translation work)
Can you see any other solution? Is there any support from XtLib for this (besides translated resources of course)?

	Together with Codejock team we have prepared support for multi-language applications. You should see a sample in the next version of Toolkit.
