multi-language translation.

[haibin]

Hello,

I'm a new guy in C++. I'm now busy programming with a small dialog program (MFC) which requires multi-language interface support.
For example, English, Dutch, German... I have created the seperate DLL programs, Now I want to dynamically load one of those DLLs depends on the language selected by the operating system.
I hope you can give me some hints or code examples, that would be a great help for me !! Thank you in advance!!

I'm doing the same than you.
I'm using BCB6 and I think is easier using internationaliazing the project.
Just translate the dialogs and add it to your project

Hi Hibin.

You could do what LastCyborg says, but it is better to use 'National Support' functions. To establish the system language, use the 'GetSystemDefaultLang' function. This will return a language identifier number (these should be given in your documentation). An example of a multinational program is given below. Hope that is helpful

#include <windows.h>

LANGID syslang;

int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hInst,
                    HINSTANCE hPrev,
                    LPSTR szCmd,
                    int nShow)
{
  char text[50];
  char capt[10];
  syslang = GetSystemDefaultLangID();

  switch (syslang)
  {
    case 0x040c:
      strcpy(capt,&quot;Francais&quot;);
      strcpy(text,&quot;Bonjour !&quot;);
      break;

    case 0x0407:
      strcpy(capt,&quot;Guten Tag&quot;);
      strcpy(text,&quot;Deutsch&quot;);
      break;

    default:
      strcpy(capt,&quot;English&quot;);
      strcpy(text,&quot;Hello !&quot;);
      break;
  }
  MessageBox(0,text,capt,MB_OK);
  return 0;
}
