Hi.
Please look what I have done by this moment and if you know where is my
mistake please answer me.
1 I create a simple project in CW 7. All resources are in English. The
output file is 'EnApp.prc'.
2 Then I duplicate the project by copying its folder. So I have two
folders - 'MyProject' and 'Copy of MyProject'.
3 Then I open the project file from the 'Copy of MyProject' folder and
modify the resources in this project so that all titles, alerts, strings,
button's labels and so on are in French.
4 Rebuild this "french" project and rename the output file to 'FrApp.prc'
5 Copy the 'prc2ovl.exe' tool, 'EnApp.prc' and 'FrApp.prc' in separate empty
folder.
6 After that using 'prc2ovl.exe' tool execute the following three lines in
DOS Prompt:
1) prc2ovl.exe EnApp.prc -locale enUS -o EnOvl.prc -> creates
'EnOvl.prc' overlay for enUS
2) prc2ovl.exe FrApp.prc -locale frFR -o FrOvl.prc -> creates
'FrOvl.prc' overlay for frFR
3) prc2ovl.exe FrOvl.prc -c -p EnApp.prc -o FrFixedOvl.prc -> creates
'FrFixedOvl.prc'
After that I install two files on the Palm Emulator : EnApp.prc and
FrFixedOvl.prc.
Although I have chosen French language on the emulator my application
doesn't shows French titles, labels and so on.
I followed the instructions below for using the 'prc2ovl.exe' tool :
***************************************************************************
This example shows how you could build two language versions as separate
projects, and generate two language overlays that would work for a single
base:
1. Build your English language project: EnglishApp.prc.
2. Create a second project, where you duplicate the code from the first
project, but change the resources for your desired localization. For
example: GermanApp.prc.
3. Use PRC-to-Overlay to generate an English overlay: EnglishOvl.prc.
4. Use PRC-to-Overlay to generate a German overlay: GermanOvl.prc.
5. Use the Patch Overlay function to incorporate the checksums and overlay
resource descriptions from the English application into the GermanOvl.prc,
calling it FixedGermanOvl.prc.
As a result, you would have an EnglishBase.prc that would work with two
overlay PRCs: EnglishOvl.prc and FixedGermanOvl.prc.

Thank you for helping me,
