Can't tell - I needed some more data on this, esp. which version of the programs you did use. I did revise them a couple times, when I found a problem (there ARE still problems to be expected) or extended or generalized a function. And I don't have different sets of source (e.g. .po) files available. The latest version of the "POtoMO" unit was changed to ignore duplicate definitions, and it seemed to work correctly (as the main function of the "PO2MO" program) for what I tested it with. (I think, I even tested it with the ideU files), but it is very well possible that ther are other problems left. BTW, these .po files don't get approval by the "authoitative" utility "msgfmt" on Linux: ALL of them contain duplicates, and some even other errors, like quotes within quotes (which the pascal utiility simply ignores, because it extracts the text differently). (As an example: $ msgfmt ideu_es.po ideu_es.po:972: keyword "z" unknown ideu_es.po:972:1: syntax error ideu_es.po:998: duplicate message definition... ideu_es.po:915: ...this is the location of the first definition msgfmt: found 3 fatal errors $ PO2MO ideu_es.po Duplicate MsgID found: "Select target file" ) Some of these errors might confuse the POtoMO function also. (The old version without duplicate suppression WILL be confused and produce garbled .mo files!) BTW, the modified german language file for ideU that I provided seems to be converted correctly, A quick test with a couple changes to the german .po file & conversion with the "PO2MO" PROGRAM didn't show any irregularities here. Which versions of the files did you use? The latest I uploaded were - POtoMO.zip 26.Feb 13:37 - msegui_dynpo-mod.zip 03.Mär 19:10 - ideU_mo.zip 28.Feb 12:25 The dates and times may differ somewhat depending on how the uploader handles the information. Unfortunately, "ideU_mo.zip" still contains a stale "lib" directory that is no longer valid - I meant to have it deleted, but somehow it is still there. Please ignore it. As I am still working on these functions, I will investigate your problems as far as I can, although I've still a "slight" problem with your ideU, as this gives me an "Access violation" error" when opened in mseide (version 5.6.5 from 17.Feb 2022). The ideU source is version 2.8.2 from 18.Feb 2022. So I'm not really certain that it even could be compiled correctly. There IS some work left until all works right. And, as an aside, I'm investigating a way to automatically extract all the string items from caption, hint, value and text fields of forms for automatic translation, without having to gather them "manually" in huge constant arrays provided in a special unit - they're there already, so one CAN use them! Providing a utility to extract these fields to a translation template is easy then, I'm just not at all familiar with the "designing" functions to provide a means to do that during development, e.g. from the object inspector. More work left... Times stay interesting. Have a nice weekend, anyway! -- (Weitergabe von Adressdaten, Telefonnummern u.ä. ohne Zustimmung nicht gestattet, ebenso Zusendung von Werbung oder ähnlichem) ----------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, S.
