Localization Procedures

This section provides how-to information on localizing applications by using the RAD Studio translation tools.

Description 
You can add languages to your project by using the Resource DLL Wizard (Win32). For each language that you add, the wizard generates a resource module project in your project group. Each resource module project is given an extension based on the language’s locale. 
After you have added languages to your project by using the Satellite Assembly Wizard or Resource DLL Wizard, you can use the Translation Manager to view and edit your resource files. You can edit resource strings directly, add translated strings to the Translation Repository, or get strings from the Translation Repository. 
After adding languages to your project with the Satellite Assembly Wizard or the Resource DLL Wizard, the base language module is loaded when you choose RunRun. However, you can load a different language module by setting the active language for the project. 
If you do not have the RAD Studio IDE, you can use the External Translation Manager (ETM) to localize an application. To use ETM, the developer must provide you with the required ETM files and project files.
Note: The Microsoft .NET Framework must be installed on your computer before you install ETM.
 
When you add an additional resource, such as a button on a form, you must update your resource modules to reflect your changes. 
Translators who do not have the RAD Studio IDE can use the External Translation Manager (ETM) instead of the Translation Manager. The steps for using the ETM are similar to those for the internal Translation Manager.
Note: ETM must be set up and operational on your computer before using the following procedure. See in the link listed at the end of this topic for details.
