Adding Russian resources
Posted: Mon May 12, 2008 10:40 am
I have written an application in Delphi 7. It has to display some 400 strings, which are stored in a resource file (RES) as a stringtable. The program can work in both Hebrew and English; each Hebrew string is numbered 1-400, and the corresponding English strings are numbered 1001-1400. The appropriate string is selected by the program by adding a constant (1000) to the string number.
So far, so good. I have now been asked to add a Russian interface. Someone translated the strings into Russian, and I was given a Word file with the Russian translation. This I moved into Notepad and changed the syntax so that it would be a legal RC file. I saved the Notepad file as Unicode.
I have tried to import this RC file into Resource Builder but with no luck. I then created a new RC file in Resource Builder and began copying strings from the text file into RB. Trying to compile this new file resulted in failure.
How to I create a RES file with Russian strings?
