doing a program in 2 languages 1

[Gigatech]

What is the best way to make a program in two different languages (English and Spanish for example) without make two different applications ?

Thanks.

Look for multi-lingual components (on the Delphi Super Page or Torry's) that will help you change the text appearing on the forms and in the messages of an application.

They will let you change the language anytime at run-time; it's very impressive!

Of course, you have to enter all the translations for all the texts into a file or properties of the multi-lingual component.

Cheers

If you want to modify the messages delphi uses to another language: (this could be the 2 type application)

Look for the file consts.dcu and rename it to consts.old You wil find this in the |Delphi\LIB directory.

In delphi 3 look for consts.int, modify the text and create a new unit consts.dcu.

In Delphi6 look for consts.pas and and modify it to suit your needs.

All your altered messages will be in the format and language you want without one single line of code
