Hum, yes, I know it is not the best. When I began ideU I did not catch how to custum mse 'stat" files and I was much more confortable with the traditional "ini" files. So for each I used a double "ini" file but I agree, this is not good, I have to re-check this and do all with the mse stat file, it is on the "todo" list. >> To change something to a language, all the po's are >> in /Directory_of_ideU/lang/ .

Yes, in the version 2.6.6 is used the "mseconst_lang.pas" way and all the languages data are compiled with those units. In last version 2.8.0 it is the "dynpo" way that is used, and /lang directory with all the po files. You may change the content as you want, without recompilation of ideU. In last commit of mseide-msegui you may choose to use or the traditional "mseconst_lang" way or the "dynpo" way via a '-dmse_dynpo' fpc parameter at compilation.

That's fine, and certainly makes translation and localization a lot easier. And it might resolve some of the limitations of the "mseconst" method, e.g. missing phrases that are not defined there but put directly in a caption field of a component or so. The .po file mechanism might be capable to even capture these, if I understand it correctly. This, of course, requires handling the text replacement at a rather low level, around some "draw_text" routine or so. > With this I think that everybody will be happy and there is no chance > to have incompatibility with older msegui releases. Indeed.

See picture: This "setting" already exists in 2.6.6, but it seems to have no effect. On a new start, the ide still comes up in english, regardless of whether this is checked or not. > Sorry but I did not understand how you get "Access violation" error, > is it with last release of ideU ? It's with version 2.6.6. Oh, I just saw that meanwhile, it DOES honour the language setting, although there's a short moment after start up where it shows in english. Maybe I didn't notice the switch before... But yes, the "Access violation" comes up with the "last" version I (still) use, namely 2.6.6. It says "Cannot read project" and displays the very path and file name that was saved from within before, along with the access violation complaint. And it does NOT load anything else but a form belongigng to the project. I can switch to the pertaining source file, but it does not show it as saved, but opens a default window only. It doesn't even remember a different font - I dont't like the huge characters used within a tiny little window, as set up as "standard", so I usually and customarily set it to "Lucida Console", which displays much smaller glyphs and thus allows a much better view of the source text. (But, as an aside, I DO like the nice frame around the context menu that I just saw in the editor. It makes reading much more pleasant.) Well, I think I'll better stop here, get me the really latest version and continue testing (and translating...) with that one. In the meantime, have a nice time and keep up the good work! -- (Weitergabe von Adressdaten, Telefonnummern u.ä. ohne Zustimmung nicht gestattet, ebenso Zusendung von Werbung oder ähnlichem) ----------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, S.
