If you want localize your software, there are two approaches:
1) Binary localization
2) Source localization
The idea in binary localization is that you read in original EXE that you've
compiled and write out localized EXEs or language files (resourcedlls). This
makes the localization process very simple. See for example
http://www.multilizer.com/dev/vcl/ to see how this is done in practice.
Unlike binary localization, source localization might involve adding
3rd-party code in your software before it can be localized. And the name
also tells that you work on the source to produce language versions, after
that you compile.
Both ways of doing the localization has they cons and pros. Anyway, binary
localization has two big advantages:
1) No 3rd-party code needed
2) Localization process can't get easier ( EXE -> Translate -> Localized
EXE)
Before localizing anything, however, you need to internationalize the code,
i.e., ensure that all data that needs to be localized is separated from code
so that localization tool can access it. In litterature this is called
'internationalization'. For instance ModelMaker Code Explorer
(http://www.modelmakertools.com/articles/hard-coded-strings.html) helps in
automating this step.
