MULTILIZER Localization Components
for VCL
Multilizer components are intended for Delphi/C++Builder developers that want to localize their software and make it truly multilingual.
Multilizer Localization components for VCL are included in the following Multilizer 2007 products:
Multilizer tool reads in translatable data from the application compiled with Delphi/C++Builder and writes out resource files in desired language. Click any of the links above to learn more about the products.
The resource files can be used as such to make your software localized. Or you can use Multilizer components to make the software truly multilingual.
Multilizer Components
 Multilizer Localization Components include a complete set of components needed to localize any Delphi or C++Builder software. Based on the functionality, components are grouped in following 3 categories:
Dictionary components provide Translator components with translations. MULTILIZER Localization Components 6.2 include three dictionary components each of them having different sources for translation:
- IvResDLLDictionary
Just specify the ResDLLPath property to resourcedlls and the dictionary can use their translations.
- IvUserDictionary This dictionary allows user-specified source for translations.
- IvTestDictionary Use this component to test how a localized software would look like.
For backwards-compatibility there are a few other dictionary components*.
Translator components translate the user interface just before the form becomes visible. User can specify which properties are translated and which not.
Module components take care of translating complex properties and non-vcl-forms that can't be translated with translator components. For example common-dialogs are translated by IvDialogModule. Developers can inherit their own modules for translating just anything in the application.
*) MULTILIZER 6.x application can't write a dictionary for other dictionary components than IvResDLLDictionary. Users of IvBinaryDictionary (and other dictionary types) need to switch to IvResDLLDictionary.
**) TranslateResourceStrings option doesn't work on Windows 2003 Server when DEP option is on, so Dictionary component's ivdoTranslateResourceStrings should not added included in options.
