Multilange

Hi all,

I want to make a multi language app where the user can easily make changes in a text file.
The app then reads the file at startup and replaces label captions and so on.
Any suggestions?

If you are looking for complete tool, try GNU Gettext for Delphi:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxgettext/

It's an open source project with mpl 1.1 license. I'm using it in several projects without any problems. The format of the translation files is po, thats a text format.
And, as an advantage, you can translate your application in a lot of languages. There are several delphi translations available.
