I'm not sure about the best approach here...

Including translations for various languages in the base package will just make it bloated. Having separate downloads for each translation/language is probably better, but this also means extra time managing them. Keeping translations up-to-date will be a problem.

Maybe a "translation package" is needed, where it's possible to quickly find the differences to the previous version, and making translations only of the new strings/dialogs/whatever. This might be doable for the resource DLL's, but it sure means additional work, and I'm not sure how to handle the help file...

Finding out LCID for dll-name:

Code: [Select]


#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#include <windows.h>

int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                    LPSTR lpszCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
LCID uiVal;
char szBuffer[260];

uiVal = GetUserDefaultLCID();
wsprintf(szBuffer, "UserDefaultLCID: %04Xh", uiVal);
MessageBox(0, szBuffer, "UserDefaultLCID", MB_OK);
return 0;
}

I think you should not include translations. Most of the time one doesn't look at the text as much if one gets used to the IDE. It would rather bloat code.
