a) what is the objective of keeping separate application for different languages.
The Palm OS overlay localization scheme is designed for use in ROMs where the choice of language is made once, and all the applications automatically pick the language to use based on that initial choice.
b) how i can create scripts similar to scripts used by PalmSource and the licensees handle building all the different versions and making overlay PRC files to put into the ROM images.
You do realize that in a EFIGS ROM, there's not just one Memo Pad PRC file, but instead, you've got a core Memo Pad, and then six different localization PRC files.
c) can i get the application (sample) with different builds for different languages
Just take the SDK example, like Address Book, duplicate the target, and change the resources that get linked to be the set in one of the localization folders by changing the access paths.
