This is how we do it in SvarLANG, the translation routines for Free FDISK and much of the SvarDOS stuff. The .LNG file contains all the translations. It is a binary format, basically consisting of a binary search table and the translated strings for every language, optionally compressed. It is fairly minimal, and by itself it contains no output routines and such stuff at all. We consider this to be a "layer above". Currently there is only a C implementation for the lib. But we want to do an assembly implementation in the foreseeable future. That should not be too hard, as like said above, the format is rather minimal. We documented the file format at https://github.com/SvarDOS/core/blob/2c639bddbe07560603d611f56a409a98abe586a3/svarlang.lib/tags/20241010/svarlang.txt#L94 Bernd _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
