Re: Localisation: which file?

Wow, what a trick. :-/

Ok. Only one .rsc file would really help translators. I'll
probably store a bugzilla entry to remember it.

Thanks Theo.

Yes, that would also help. What also would help if Deron
tells the 
translator what has changed. The translator has to look in
each _fr.rsc, 
or in my case each _nl.rsc.
(I know this is a too big task for Deron. He has to change
the Amiga 
(-PPC),  Linux,Macintosh and Windows version. So no problem
here.)

But every item has its own rsc (resource) file. Take a look
in Locale 
(BME, PGS4, PGS5, SoftlogikApp, SoftlogikDisp) but also in
the locales 
in almost every Softlogik map!
So the same word in English could in an other language in
different 
rsc-files have different words. But the different rsc-files
tells you 
something about one piece of the program, you (I) have, more
or less, an 
oversight.
For instance: Knockout.
Knockout has something to do with printing: print colors
over each 
other, or not print the underlying color -- if printing is
done in each 
color apart: first print Cyan, then Magenta, then Yellow and
at last 
black (CMYK).
Knockout is also something you notice in an instance as a
reader in a 
document (It jumps you in the eye - as a matter of speaking.
You notice 
it right away).

And the .rsc was and is still a big step forward from the
times of PGS3 
and earlier versions. You wouldn't want to know, really!
