Dear friends,

I’m beginner in Visual C++ 6.0 and I’m looking for advice and help.
I have English application which must be translated in other language like Rumanian, and Russian.
Can anybody advise from where I can get language classes for VC++6.0?

Thanks in advice,
Andrei Druta

adruta,

You might want to look at storing your strings in a resource file. Then you just make a different resource file for each language, and link to the desired resource file for each different language version.

For a slightly more advanced trick, you could use late binding to pick the language at runtime and load it from the resource file.

Another popular alternative from the UNIX world is to keep the strings in a text file, with a different file for each language. It simulates the late biding trick, with possibly a little less program complexity.

Dear Clay,

Thank you very much for your reply for my question. I have solved my problem translating resources file. The problem was special characters which is part of Latin 2 character table.

Your second solution is really advanced for me. I must learn a little bit more about this possibility. I have heard about other possibility using dll.

The 3rd possibility is not secure, because everybody can change the text inside of the program and I don’t want this.

Thank you again for your advice.

PS. I have saw that your web site (www.lazarusid.com) have small JavaScript error on line 53 ( in IE 6.0.

My advice is to add in this row a (\) before (‘)

Before:
<a href="/resume.html" onMouseOver="window.status='Clay’s Resume';return true;"

After:
<a href="/resume.html" onMouseOver="window.status='Clay\’s Resume';return true;"
