Hi,

   I am trying to find a better way to translate an
application I have.

   I am using BC++ Builder 6. The strings I have in the code (.cpp or
.h) are gathered to a single header file (trans.h) wich contains defines
for  each translation. I control wich group of #defines are used with
"#idef LANG1", etc. And every string in each control of the forms I
have, is initialized in its constructor. Example:

#include "trans.h"
(...)
__fastcall TFormMy::TFormMy(TComponent* Owner)
         : TForm(Owner)
{
     #ifdef LANG1
         Caption = "Title in LANG1";
     #elif defined LANG2
         Caption = "Title in LANG2";
     #endif
}

   Where TFormMy is my app's main form, and it defines each title based
on the language defined in the file "trans.h".

   I think the problem with this approach is that I generate code that
maybe unnecessary. The forms (and its controls) already have strings
kept inside them, and the constructor overrides them this way, right?

   How could I change the strings at compilation time, but without this
extra code?

   Thanks,

Andre.
