Can't you use them from the resource like you can with po-files?
From one of my units that does thi using old style .lrs resource:
===
type
TTransalateFromLazarusResourceResult = (trSuccess,
trResourceNotFound, trTranslationError);
function TryTranslateFromLazarusResource: TTransalateFromLazarusResourceResult;
var
LRes: TLResource;
PO: TPOFile;
SS: TStringStream;
B: Boolean;
begin
Result := trResourceNotFound;
LRes := LazarusResources.Find('lclstrconsts.nl','PO');
if LRes <> nil then
begin
SS := nil;
PO := nil;
try
SS := TStringStream.Create(LRes.Value);
//don't use TPoFile.Create(SS,True): it will crash on
TranslateUnitResourceStrings if you do
PO := TPoFile.Create(SS, False);
try
B := TranslateUnitResourceStrings('lclstrconsts',PO);
if B then Result := trSuccess else Result := trTranslationError;
except
Result := trTranslationError;
DebugLn('Exception while translating LclStrConsts unit form
internal resources.');
end;
finally
if Assigned(SS) then SS.Free;
if Assigned(PO) then PO.Free;
end;
end;
end;
