Import localisation files

Hi,
I've used the translation wizard to translate all dialog strings to German.
When I created a new project and wanted to import those strings, I get the message

'The folder does not seem to contain translation files for the current project ...'

I tried to work around that by exporting the strings from the project to disk and then replacing the appropriate translation file. This compiles and builds fine, but results in runtime errors that do not occur if I don't use localization.

How can I use the same translation file for all my projects?
Also, I don't really want to go through the process of translating the installer message for each project, so I would like to import those to. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

You may use the Tools | Edit Global Strings menu item to localize setup strings that are shared across projects.

Additionally, if you want to translate a project once, and not have to redo it again; please translate one of the template projects. This way when you create a new project that is based off of the template, it will inherit the translations.
