TsiCustomLang.MergeFromFile : resourcestrings don't work

Hi,

I'd like to be able to load resourcestring translations at runtime using TsiCustomLang.MergefromFile(stStrings, 'C:\Myfile.sil') and I'm using a registered 5.22 Version of tsilang.

My problem is that translations do not show up if I do that, I always get the native Resourcestring.

(In SiLoadResString, the string returned by S := TsiCustomLang(ResourceHandler).FLangStringsColl.GetTranslationByLang(Result, TsiCustomLang(ResourceHandler).ActiveLanguage) is always empty ('');

I know that TsiCustomlang.LoadAllFromFile works, but I'd like to avoid TsiCustomlang.LoadAllFromFile because it deletes all strings that were added while an external translator translated the sil file.

Is there a fix available or did someone find a workaround ?

Thanks,

Henrich.

more update problems

I found another couple of missing updates for tcustomsilang.fstringscoll and
tcustomsilang.fLangstringscoll. :( :?

1. Besides resourcestrings, regular strings can't be merged from a file : the same thing happens - the translation from the file (GetText()) never shows up.

2. Assume you call Tsilangrt.EditAll and change a resourcestring translation. Even after switching the language back and forth, this change does not show up.

The same is valid for a regular string (GetText()) because this uses FStringsColl in TsiCustomLang.GetTextFrom :
(Result := FStringsColl.GetTranslationByID(TextID, FActLang))


It seems to me that tsicustomlang.fstringsColl and tsicustomlang.fLangStringsColl are not updated in a lot of situations - and I don't know how to do that manually.

Am I missing something :?:

Please help / advice !

Henrich.

Thanks a lot for the quick response. As I found a temporary way to fix it yesterday evening, I'll just wait for the release next week.
