I had try this way,but some error "unable to load resource DLL";
I use ResHacker edit.

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 Expand


#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.
