Doubt about .SIL files

[pablobr]

Hi again

Let me describe a situation:

Example: I have 3 labels, and 2 buttons on my form. Done! Let´s supose this is my project!
Now I save a .SIL file from the project. Good!

But, few hours later, I decided that the 2º Label is useless and deleted it.

What I need to do to "update" my .SIL file?

Ps: Actually, I save the project again and subescribe my .SIL file. But it keep´s all the deleted "objects" and strings from my application.

Any help would be welcome,

Best regards,

Pablo

You can use one of the following ways:
1. To use SIB files (much faster and always contain only actual data)- preferrable
2. To save SIL file each time under different name
3. Firstly load whole SIL file to the whole project; delete existing SIL file and create new one from the whole project.

I just read about SIB files, but don´t know anything about then... lol

Will try to learn how to use it.

Any demo or suggestion??

Thanks

im doing some tests now saving my project into a .SIB file....
and i´m liking...

but the same doubt persist, if i delete an object , loading all the translation from the old .sib file into the new one and then saving again is the only way to get my .sib file updated?

thanks

No, when saving to SIB file only "actual" (currently presented) objects translations will be stored.
Under DEMO folder there is SIBperLanguage folder, which includes demo on loading SIB files.

I know about that, but lets supose I translated my .SIB file at the SIL Editor, not in Delphi.

I have 3 labels with their captions all translated.

Then I deleted 1 label. If I save a .SIB file I´ll lose my translations from the others 2 labels, do you got my point?

I want to know how I can update my "already translated" .SIB file?

Then the only way: at first load translated SIB and later save to create updated.

I tried it already without success...
When I press "Load from..." at Translation Editor, it only have the option to load from .SIL or *. all files (I select all files and it´s Ok), but when I load the .SIB file it replaces everything with "empty data". My .SIB file gets empty, all properties is gone... dont know why!

Did you upgrade to version 6.0 released recently? In v. 6.0 Translation Editor is able to load/save from/to SIB files. Otherwise just use TsiLang Expert: select form in Expert's list and click on toolbar Load Form button.

Think that my problem´s are gone now...
