Quoting Graeme Geldenhuys <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Is it possible to use resource strings in constants and be able to
translate them with 'gettext' unit at runtime?
TRASLATE THEM AT RUNTIME ?
Then what you need are variables, not constants.
Resources, (strings, images, or else), where intended
to be changed USING THE EXECUTABLE, WITHOUT ANY SOURCE CODE
and BEFORE the application runs.
I have used the "gettext" utilities and its "*.po" files a few times,
but, I do remember, that the developer could change
the "locale" or "culture" of the resources.
cGenderGUI: array[TGender] of string =
( rsGenderMale, rsGenderFemale );
cGenderDB: array[TGender] of string =
( 'M', 'F' );
Whenever I reference the cGenderGUI[xxx] I always get the original
resource string value instead of the translated one. I'll double
You can use functions, instead of constants,
something similar to "properties":
---------------------------------------------
...
interface
type
TGender = (gMale, gFemale);
function GenderToStr(const Value: TGender): string;
implementation
function GenderToText(const Value: TGender): string;
begin
// assign locale or language or culture to "gettext"
// call the "getText" function for your strings
end;
...
---------------------------------------------
check tomorrow if I'm doing something stupid.
No, your code is right.
Just my 2 bee, I mean, 2 cents...
