Hi, You may want to give a look at appTranslator: http://www.apptranslator.com appTranslator provides translation-oriented resource editors that work directly on your EXE. It also helps you (the developer) to easily keep track of changes and new items to be translated: appTranslator detects new and modified resources and shows you exactly what needs to be translated. No need to dig through tedious file diff's and merges! Asking translators to work on your .RC files is not a good idea. Here's an article that explains why working on the exe is way better: http://www.apptranslator.com/misconceptions.html Version 2.0 is in beta. If you plan to work with a professional translator, its support for XLIFF files may be interesting for you (read more about XLIFF in the appTranslator help file). As a side note regarding localization, you may want to give a look at my code project articles. Just lookup my name and you'll find them. Happy localization! [BTW, yes, I'm the author of appTranslator ;-)] Serge.

"FONT pointsize, typeface" is used in DIALOG templates "FONT pointsize, typeface, weight, italic, charset" is used in DIALOGEX templates. Note that unless your code explicitely manipulate the dialog template (which is very unlikely), you don't have to worry about whether a regular or extended template (DIALOG/DIALOGEX) is used. Both formats are handled correctly by all Win32 versions of Windows and by MFC. HTH, Serge. http://www.apptranslator.com - Localization for your Visual C++ apps

Chris, I've tried that a couple of times already. Tried again just now. But the closing tags keep being rejected to the end of the table row as soon as I save the changes ! :-( (As opposed to what I initially wrote, these closing tags are not completely deleted, they are actually moved).

Hi, I hope this is the appropriate forum for this kind of post. I just submitted an article (Text -> The closing tag disappears ! I wanted to use colors in words of a couple of sentences to illustrate an issue. The problem is that the color of the text is not restored properly due to the missing span closing tags. Look for the word 'brown' in the article : there should be one word in brown and _one_ in red. I realize there are a couple of predefined styles that should be used such as for code snippets and identifier names. I do use them. But I also need this custom coloring at one place in my article. Can anyone suggest a way to work around this problem. TIA ! Serge. http://www.apptranslator.com

Daniel, Actually, I am currently writing an article _with source code_ that I'll submit soon. I hadn't seen the collab/testing forum. Now I know. Serge.

Hi all, This is not an ad! Seriously! I am about finished writing version 1.0 of a localization tool for Visual C++/MFC apps and I'm looking for beta testers. I'm concerned about not abusing the 'do not post ads here' sign. Hence I don't give more info here. Just my URL : http://www.apptranslator.com Anyone interested, please visit the site. TIA, Serge. serge@wautier.net
