Hi,
it's the first time that i have to develop a program for more then one language. I thought that i could use the resource files for that, but i couldn't find any information but a complicated MSDN article, which didn't help much.
My questions:
1. i have to put ALL my language strings in one resource file (more then one .rc-file gets rejected by the resource compiler). They start with a header with the country code and the sub code. Is that true?
How can i use more then one rc-file? It's for about 5 or 6 languages, so it would get quite long.
2. I want to create build configurations, one for each language. What do i have to configure to do that? The only information i found was how to switch the languages "on the fly", and not per build config.
If you could help me with those questions, this would be fine. Or maybe you could point me to some tutorials or articles about that on the web.
Thanks,
Chris
