That looks really promising. I'd like to have something of

Many times more. There is no *one* ZIP or GZ compression alghorithm; there are

Hi Eric,

The search table is a crucial part of the format, as it stores the offsets of
the individual strings. So you cannot simply leave this out. But if you
establish the hard requirements that every string does not contain but ends
with a
Hi!
BTW, one option I was considering is a single .LNG file (or something)
with all the translations inside a single file instead of needing a
separate file for each language.
While this can be useful when clusters are large, I wonder about:
It is a binary format, basically consisting of a

Two thoughts this brings up. One is that we are not following the ISO
standard. Perhaps not a big deal, but that means we are on our own and will
definitely need to document everything to avoid
What we would probably need is a Unix-style NLS system. under Unix you
would have
LANG=PT_PT.latin1

LANG=PT_BR.UTF8
It's not only about messages in programs, but date formats, currencies etc.
