Too old ? Occam is about most simple. Hanlon specifies that stupidity is more simple than malice.

Seems like Lazarus is not using the regular resourcestrings then, because the whole point of using resourcestrings is that their value is the translated value... Never mind, I was fooled by the debugger tool-tip, which shows the original definition and not the current value of the resourcestring :-( Bye -- Luca ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Seems like Lazarus is not using the regular resourcestrings then, because the whole point of using resourcestrings is that their value is the translated value... Sounds like a conspiracy theory. Just trying to go with the times ;-) What about the simple explanation, that there are two resourcestrings with the same name in RTLConsts and LCLStrConsts and Luca is looking at the wrong one? Also an option. :-) The question is then why there are 2 copies of a string ? :-) See Hanlon's razor. What's wrong with Occam's razor ? Too old ?
