About

Lazarus dxGetText is a conversion of the dxGetText project (http://dybdahl.dk/dxgettext/). From the dxGetTest website: "Initially, this project used a Windows port of the GNU gettext library, but has made it much further and today it is a complete reimplementation of the GNU gettext library with many enhancements".

With this lib you can create a localizable application with a minimum of work. You do not need to extract all your strings and to transform them into ResourceString.

You use syntax _('message') and the tool for extract... a few moments later, you have a .po file containing all the strings including those of the properties of the objects.

For more informations, see the help: http://dybdahl.dk/dxgettext/docs/online/
