Great. Thanks, Andrew.
  Funny, I am getting Internal Error - when I try to import the RBL file back 
into the project. It is a very dumb, simple program.
   
  I wanted to ask:
    
   When you import German, do you have to preset the RB Build dialog to German 
?  
   Also, do you follow the instructions for menus that are summarized in the RB 
Users Guide? I'm just trying to get the dynamic strings to convert.
   
  Thanks for your help. We're using RB 2006R3...

  We use Lingua for localizing quite a bit.

First off, make sure you are using the latest release of REALbasic, which fixes 
some bugs mainly having to do with Asian languages.

For most languages we follow this process:
- export the localizable strings
- open the exported file in Lingua
- update the values (in our case we import files that our localization team has 
worked with)
- save the file
- in the RB project, choose "Import" and set the "file of type" to "Any" (which 
allows you to see .RBL files). Then navigate to the file you want and import it.

For the Asian languages we have been doing this:
- build the app from the RB project
- once the Lingua file is updated, choose the "export to application" option.
- Select your compiled app.

There are some naming issues with the files generated for Japanese and Chinese 
on both Mac and Windows, and we have to hand-rename those files. But we have no 
problems with German

Not sure if anyone really localizes RB apps but I want to be sure that it works.

I created a simple example program, created Dynamic Strings in a module, 
exported to German, used Lingua (works fine!) and then trouble! When I try to 
test the application, I select the executable built and I get the "Could not 
update application" message.

Alternatively, I tried to import back the German translations into the RB 
project and there are no instructions how to do it (and .RBL file types aren't 
recognized).

HELP! Should be pretty simple.
