Embarcadero RadPHP XE as a Sample Application with Multilanguage Localization Translated by Users

TsiLang Components Suite enables the creation of multilanguage localization for applications, allowing for new translations to be added by users without requiring recompilation or developer assistance. We have showcased this capability in the article ‘Creating multilanguage applications translated by users‘. Our own products, including Resource Builder, SIL Editor, and Dictionary Manager, as well as third-party applications, have been developed using this method of multilanguage localization.

How this is done in the RadPHP XE?

One of the most outstanding applications using TsiLang Components Suite is RadPHP XE from EmbarcaderoEmbarcadero – authors of RAD Studio, Delphi, C++Builder and other well-known developer tools.

In RadPHP XE, the user changes languages through the Options menu.

Also, the application comes with a set of languages including English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Japanese. During the installation, the setup script also copies a dictionary and translation file to the user’s PC:

Also, the help file includes a detailed explanation of the steps for adding new translations:

As a result, after the user adds a language or updates an existing language, new translations will appear automatically in the application. Moreover, the large community of RadPHP XE users all over the world helps to collect quite a large translation database. Later this can be shared with others.
