Re: Localization (L10n) problem

Perhaps the charset used for zh.msg is not the one expected by mormoti18n.pas.

Which version of Delphi are you using?

Re: Localization (L10n) problem

thanks ab, i'm change the charset of the zh.msg then solve the problem.

but another problem is that,  the main language of my application is chinese,

when i call the ExtractAllResources procedure, chinese in the generate template (eg. Project04Client.messages) is convert to Question marks(????)

i kown it need WinAnsi String, but there is any way to translate  from chinese to english ?

thanks.

Re: Localization (L10n) problem

Sadly, this is as designed.
The idea of "ExtractAllResources" was that the application is written in English in the captions, then translated to whatever language you need.
This is a limitation of the current design.
