Multilingual Support: Use "String Tables" instead of creating a new set of Dialogs for each supported language

dungpapai

I am supporting French for my project (MFC). I have to use "String Tables" instead of creating a new set of Dialogs for each supported language. String Tables are to support multiple languages. Could you tell me more about this, please. Please send me an example Thanks a lot!

Start by reading: 1) Internationalization and Multiple Language Support[^] 2) Tips on internationalization of software[^] Another approach to 1 above would be to have string resource table only DLLs and manually loading strings from resource instead of recreating each dialog, menu, and etc. for each language. This would require more coding, but a non-programmer could be taught to edit the string tables. There is also a good book offered by Microsoft Press on the subject, version one of that book was in the VC6.0 MSDN help.

What version of Visual C++ are you using? If you are using VS 2003 or above, the IDE supports Unicode.

I suggest see multilingual support for applications [^]
