Importing existing localization
Suppose that you want to use the Multi-Language Add-In for localization, but a part of your project has already been localized using hand coded function calls to load resource strings.
In version 4.52.0003, I have added a new feature to:
- search for existing function calls which load resource strings
- import the resource strings into the Add-In's project database and
- convert the existing function calls into calls to the function ml_string(), as generated by the Add-In.
To search for the existing function calls, you must define a search pattern using a regular expression. This means that it is fairly flexible, but somewhat cryptic. I will be happy to help if anybody has problems defining the regular expression.
There is more information in the article Importing Existing Localization.
