Skip the typical software localization beginner's traps

Code Pages

Unfortunately, few development systems support Unicode in their visual components. This is the case in Visual C++ and .NET languages like C#, Visual Basic .NET.

Many others, such as VCL Delphi and classic Visual Basic development systems, do not have built-in Unicode support for the GUI. In these cases, your program will start with the code page the user set for non-Unicode applications in the system.

You cannot influence this setting from within your application. If you exchange data with your translator or user, make sure that you know how to handle code pages (read more).

What you need to do

Use a localization tool that handles all languages and streamlines the data exchange process. Search for a localization tool that supports double-byte and left-to-right code, so that you don't have problems later.

How does Sisulizer support you

Sisulizer does it all! Using the Sisulizer's Exchange Wizard exchanging translatable content of your projects between you, and your translators is a snap. No hazzle about code page settings, no need to convert data. You even can automate this process.
