Well, IDE scripts I haven't looked at all. So this very well might
be possible there.
I just converted one of my apps to dynamic strings, from being one
language only. It was hell of a work, but I did it. Now, I think I
will not make any software again without using dynamic strings. This
is just too cool. For example, I created my app in Icelandic
(native) and English. Then I just exported dynamic strings for
russian, sent it to a very good person, which then just sent me the
file again with all translation work done.
Unfortunately I need to manually copy / paste them into the IDE
myself, do to the bug i sent you. It is a lot of work. But is very
well worth it. If for example you have tens of thousands of
constants, I truly feel sorry for you, but I guess for now, and it
probably won't be fixed in R4, we just need to do this. This is as
boring job as they come by.
But like you said, you are able to export the whole module as XML, do
a quick and dirty find replace, and then import it again. BUT TAKE
BACKUPS before you do :)

Okay - I don't know the 'old system'. So the 'Region' setting is de
facto ignored now?
- Files created with Linuga 1.1 cannot be imported (error message
in r2, crash in r3) only Lingua 1.0 works (but lacks of cause the
improvements of 1.1) when will it be updated?
There is a bug ticket on this : http://www.realsoftware.com/
feedback/viewreport.php?reportid=vifkjpju
...is on my watch list, thx ;)
- The only way to change a bunch of constants to dyn / not dyn is
to save as XML and do some ugly find / replace - right? do we
have a way with IDE scripting?
Or do it in the IDE itself
Of course, but there are a lot...
- On OS X I'm happy with the dynamic Language selection, but in
Windows I'm not. There is always this ugly 'Resources' Folder and
no way to choose a language different from the OS (e.g. if the OS
(on a Server) is in English language but I want to see my app in
local language). I'd like to have a single .exe again - which is
much more easy to distribute.
You need to go into Control Panel, Regional settings and choose a
country, this works. But I agree, don't like the resources folder
much, but then again, don't like windows much.
I don't like Win much as well, but I've to comply with the needs of
my customers. I develop on OS X :)
- Would you support a Feature Request to add in the build options
a switch 'build static language app' even if you have dynamic
constants? Otherwise the language selector drop-down doesn't
makes much sense to me anymore...
It is there, just don't choose dynamic strings, and it works.
Yes, but if I don't use dynamic strings at all, I cannot use
Linuga. And the 'old' REALglot doesn't work anymore. So how to
bring the tokens to the translator?
Currently I'm working the following way:
I'm using dynamic string constants and do my debug builds with
them. For translation I pack a Win32 executable with its resource
folder, lingua 1.0 and the .rbl language file in an zip and send it
to the translator. Afterwards I import the edited .rbl
Before I do a release build I export to XML, replace the dynamic
strings by non-dynamic ones, import it again, do the build with
static language and drop the XML project afterwards. Not very
comfortable. I'd really like to automate this with an IDE script at
least....
regards
Tobias
