[DUG] Internationalization/Delphi 2009
Hi all, Our company is looking at making our application multi-lingual sometime in the near future. I did spend a bit of time previously looking into this and we started using a program called POedit ( http://www.poedit.net/ ) to get the strings extracted for use with an external translator. We're currently using Delphi 2007 and were wondering firstly if anyone out there is using Delphi 2009 for this purpose as the new features listed do say that its fully Unicode enabled but I'm not sure what the process is or how hard it is to do and what tools are available in 2009 that aren't available in 2007 for this task?

Re: [DUG] Internationalization/Delphi 2009
Well it sounds like D2009 is the one to look at. Was anyone on the list at the David I presentation on D2009 earlier in the week - I was in Chch so was unable to be there? Apparently he spent quite some time talking about the issues around converting to Unicode. I would be interested in either a summary or a recording of the presentation if anyone has one. Especially if there was extra stuff above what Richard talked about a few months ago. John Our company is looking at making our application multi-lingual sometime in the near future.

Re: [DUG] Internationalization/Delphi 2009
[Reply] HI Richard, In David I`s talk in Auckland he spoke about the ease with which you can now internationalise your application with Delphi 2009. You can easily export your Application`s Strings Resource, and in conjunction with a distributable tool for translators that uses this, the process is apparently quite painless. All in unicode too. The proof of the pudding though, is in the eating and I have yet to sup myself. kr gary At 13:28 on 3/04/2009 you wrote To : delphi@delphi.org.nz CC : From: Richard Bullin, rich...@lowmanconsulting.com Content Type: text/html Attached: This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Re: [DUG] Internationalization/Delphi 2009
The way to internationalise an application within Delphi hasn't changed for a long time. In Delphi 2009 they actually put some effort into fixing some of the bugs in it though.

Re: [DUG] Internationalization/Delphi 2009
If you are wanting a detailed summary of what's new in D2009 - you should buy Marco Cantu's book (you'll learn more than you ever wanted to know about Unicode - the first 3 chapters about 100 pages). You get an electronic copy free with D2009 - which you can't print out. You can also get Bob Swarts book: http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/delphi-2009-development-essentials/5037135 Which is less detailed, but still has lots of info (I haven't finished reading Marco's book yet) Alister Christie Computers for People Ph: 04 471 1849 Fax: 04 471 1266 http://www.salespartner.co.nz PO Box 13085 Johnsonville Wellington John Bird wrote: Well it sounds like D2009 is the one to look at.
