What language ?
We current have different .rc files for different languages.
(French/German)

But they need to be updated to the latest version, just waiting until
we have a semi stable release, we can keep for a longer time.
To much work to update and recompile each rc for each build

@Rudi: why not use something like resource DLLs. In this case you just load the string tables from another DLL - i.e. no need to recompile the program or something. I can probably write you C code to do this.
Maybe you are just doing that already, I have had no look in the sources now ...

We moved all text to the .rc file
A translation is recompiling with an other .rc

Some work, but flexable. Languages have sometimes different
length, using a seperate resourcefile, we can easy adapt the boxes.

Localization would be nice to spread Ultr@VNC. If there is an easy way to do it, I could help with Spanish, but don't make me recompile or translate strings inside source code, please!! :)

Rudi,

You might remember me, for sending you a localized Chinese version (EXE format) to you.

I prefered to the "Olver" way to call a sepearte DLL (or combind resources) for a lang. Becuase, such as chinese, there is a lot of need to fine-tune layout - every text/ edit box/ check box a lot of more need to re-layout.

This is not only text work (unless you keep every static text wide and leave enough spaces).

The other reason is FONT: Eastern Asian (CHT/CHS/KOR/JPN) used 9 as a default dialogbox size. Defualt dialogbox is also very differt with Western styles. refer to this page.

For translation, we moved all text to the .rc file.
This file also contain the the text,fonts, box sizes etc.

winvnc.rc
vncviewer.rc
Are the only files that contain any language depended stuff

The only problem is that during development, a change to
the english rc need to be pushed to all languages. Didn't
make any sense to start on the translations.
I don't expect any more changes to the dialog boxes before release 1.00.

Does anyone know some free translator program that can handle MS vc++ .rc (resource files).
