The possibilities

• Point with your mouse to the icons of the project window. Their function is shown in the status bar on the bottom of the LinLocalize window.
• You can review the project properties by selecting the language, either source or destination language, and click on the properties icon or choose in the menu Stringlist | Properties. Please be aware that menu content changes, dependent on the windows that are opened and the object that has the focus.
• Double click on the source language to extract the strings from the executable. To reach the same goal, you may also open the local menu (right mouse click) and select Create/Update Stringlist or choose in the main menu Stringlist | Create/Update Stringlist.
• The Sourcelist window is opened.
• Double Click on the destination language to open the Translation list window of that language.
• Now maximalize the Linlocalize window to fill the whole screen.
• Choose Window | Tile from the main menu.
• Maximalize the Translation list window.
• Choose Tools | Glossaries from the main menu to open the Global Glossaries window.
• Here you'll find the translation glossaries with the available translation strings. These .glo files are common text files. If your language is not available you may first want to import strings. We will explain later. These global glossaries are used to translate your strings automatically.
• Press Ok to close the Global Glossaries window.
• Select Window | Tile to show all windows: Project window, Source List window and Translation List window(s).

Linux support

Although LinLocalize was specifically created for Linux Localization, LinLocalize for Windows does not support Linux resources. Theoretically, it would be possible to use LinLocalize for Windows for the extraction and creation of Linux resources, but it would need a resbind executable for Linux resources which would run in the MSWindows environment. The practical usefulness of this scheme seems limited. So, LinLocalize for Windows does not support Linux.

LinLocalize 1.3 is specifically suited for Linux. Obtain the executable and source of LinLocalize 1.3 at http://linlocalize.sourceforge.net/.
