EVEN compiled with "-dmse_dynpo -dusemo"? That's interesting, up to
even disconcerting.

Hmmm - this might well be the case. The FreePascal documentation for
their "fcl" says:
"17.2 Overview
The gettext unit can be used to hook into the resource string mechanism
of Free Pascal to provide translations of the resource strings, based
^^^^^
on the GNU gettext mechanism. The unit provides a class (TMOFile (520))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
to read the .mo files with localizations for various languages. ..."
Thus, it probabely requires installing some means to access this "GNU
gettext mechanism", like the "Cygnus" (AFAIR) toolkit for Windows,
where it should at least be installable on.
Not available on plain Windows, as it seems.
As an aside question, what are the lines 252 to 254 in "conflang.pas",
{$ifndef windows}
inttostr(gridlistfont.rowcount) + ' ' +
{$endif}
used for? The statement part inserts a text representation of a grid
"rowcount", probabely the current row number, into the stringgrid named
"gridlistfont", but only NOT on Windows, where it only inserts the
value of "lang_settings[Ord(se_fontname)]", whatever this is. Why is
the number omitted for Windows? There seems to be no reason.

That's nice indeed, and if the above mentioned suspicion (unavailable
on plain Windows) applies, probabely all that's possible there.

Ok, that's a work around, as unsatisfying as it may be...

Thanks, same to you.
