We use Lingua for localizing quite a bit.
First off, make sure you are using the latest release of REALbasic, which fixes
some bugs mainly having to do with Asian languages.
For most languages we follow this process:
- export the localizable strings
- open the exported file in Lingua
- update the values (in our case we import files that our localization team
has worked with)
- save the file
- in the RB project, choose "Import" and set the "file of type" to "Any"
(which allows you to see .RBL files). Then navigate to the file you want and
import it.
For the Asian languages we have been doing this:
- build the app from the RB project
- once the Lingua file is updated, choose the "export to application" option.
- Select your compiled app.
There are some naming issues with the files generated for Japanese and Chinese
on both Mac and Windows, and we have to hand-rename those files. But we have no
problems with German

Subject: Internationalization Question
Not sure if anyone really localizes RB apps but I want to be sure that it works.
I created a simple example program, created Dynamic Strings in a module,
exported to German, used Lingua (works fine!) and then trouble! When I try to
test the application, I select the executable built and I get the "Could not
update application" message.
Alternatively, I tried to import back the German translations into the RB
project and there are no instructions how to do it (and .RBL file types aren't
recognized).
HELP! Should be pretty simple.
