Maybe you can use adapted copies of translations.pas unit (from

Hmm... A lot of work for just a demo. No other way? Can't gnugettext be
configured to use the Lazarus structure?
BTW: Working with the i18n options again I noticed that there are now
two boxes "Excluded" > "Identifiers", "Originals" in the i18n project
options. What can be put in there? Which effect does it have? Does it
solve the issue that the same strings enter the po files again and again?
PO file consists of entries. Each entry consists of (at least)
identifier name, original string value and translated string value. By
default IDE collects all captions from components on form. If you use
resource strings for translation at the same time you may want in some
cases to filter some strings.
For example, you have a form with caption 'Form1' and with some labels
in it. Then you translate this caption via resource string and all
labels by IDE means. In this case you will have in PO file 'Form1' entry
and entry for resource string which effectively replaces it. Obviously
you don't want to burden translators with 'Form1' entry. That is where
the filters are useful.
Thanks for the explanation. It motivated me to play with these two
boxes: If I don't want to have the auto-generated entry 'Form1' to be
in the po file I must enter this string in the box "Originals".
Alternatively I can use the identifier of the caption in the box
"identifiers" - it must be entered in the po syntax: "tform1.caption",
or "tform1.button1.caption" for a button named TButton. What was
confusing me is that the ignored entries remain in the master po and
translated po files after these modifications. Only after "Clean up and
Build" they do disappear. This, however, takes a long time because all
required units are recompiled. Wouldn't it be better to have a menu
command "Clean po file" which just rebuilds the rsj and po files?
