Hello guys,
I’m wondering, if anybody knows how I can change language in existing application. I’m interesting in approach.
Actually my plan is next:
export database to DXL file;
took all existing wordings and translate them to new language;
modifying DXL file with new wordings
import DXL file as database.
But I also would be happy for any other approach.
Thanks!

hi!
we used this in the past with success:
but you have to buy it…your solution would be free 
what it does: open a database, scan for strings (can be tricky because some strings are found which are code and should definitly not be translated - so we started to mark our 'NON translateable strings with a leading kwd_ and telling the application to EXCLUDE strings starting with kwd_ ), than replaces the string inside the database with something like
9898ds9d898ds98ds98e3ekkkkew99~my String
which is unique for this string and creates a document in the ‘translataion database’ (this is create automatically) which contains this tag and the flat string.
After finishing this scan you can open the translation db and you will see all strings that should be translated by you.
Opening let’s say the document for the string ‘Save’ shows you the origin value and a blank field for the new one.
When saving the application scans if there are similiar terms to translate and let you choose wether to apply the translation to all of them or not.
Finished with all the translation you may press something like ‘write the stuff back’ and the application just replaces the origin terms with the new ones using the unique tag to find them.
using this you cann create translation sets for several languages and there is also an export function to csv e.g. to let you send the files away to a translation oficce 
wow - nice text
I swear I’m not working for IBM
