Albrecht: I'm not convinced by this proposal. It could be confusing for the FLTK programmer to pretend these strings are platform independent when they are really unused on Mac and WIN32, where dialogs are localized by the OS. If you really consider that the requirement to put #if !defined(WIN32) && !defined(__APPLE__) / #endif in the source code is bad, I would then suggest to just move the definition of these strings from file print_panel.cxx to file Fl_Printer.cxx where they would be compiled for all platforms, even if for no use on Mac and Win, but to keep them in class Fl_Printer.
