I've just migrated an app to RB200x and accordingly been discussing the new language options with the client, that Dynamic Constants allow a single build to choose language at application startup, based on your system settings.

The app makes use of constants throughout for all controls, menus and tooltips.

To-date, we've been doing specific language builds, providing an executable per-language.

The following is what they would like to do - I don't think Dynamic Constants will achieve this nor is there any other easy mechanism in RB to achieve it, but I would LOVE to be proven wrong!

"My preference for the localisation would be to have all the multiple languages to be included with the system build, with the user having the choice of which language to select at installation.

However if possible we would like the option to select which languages the user can see, as not all distributors will have every language i.e. Some may only take English so they will only see this as the language option even though all of the languages are included.

This would mean that we only have one system build , and perhaps have a Distributor preferences file which would define the languages available.
 "

thanks

Andy
