Question

Let me explain. I wanted to allow users of my software to be able to translate it onto foreign languages. My idea was to provide them with a copy of a .rc file (plus resource.h and some additional .h files with definitions) and have them download a free version of Visual Studio Express and then be able to view and translate all the dialogs, strings, etc.

But ... as I just tried it out, Visual Studio Express does not come with a resource editor... Ha-ha-ha... What a piece of garbage! Did they see that the Xcode that they copied it from does support it....

Anyway, sorry... as you can tell, I'm very disappointed that after having done a lot of work prepping the .rc file I learned that everything that my translators can do is open it as text in a "marvelous" Visual Studio Express!

So my question is, is there some software that a translator (who is not a developer!) can use to open a .rc file to do visual resource editing (i.e. translation)?

PS. I'm obviously looking for a free solution. PS2. I created this .rc file in my full (paid) version of the Visual Studio.

No correct solution

OTHER TIPS

I've written this recently, which integrates into VS (but can be run standalone):

largely because I was unsatisfied with the solutions out there. you'll need to get a client id from M$ (but they give you 2M words/month translation free - not bad)
