How can I make multi-language software in Delphi

To create a multi-language software in Delphi FMX (FireMonkey), you can use the built-in support for localization. Localization allows you to create different versions of your software for different languages and cultures, without having to maintain separate code bases for each version.

Here are the steps to create a multi-language software in Delphi FMX:

  1. Set up a resource file for each language that you want to support. A resource file is a file that contains all of the localizable resources for your software, such as strings, images, and dialogs.
  2. Create a separate resource file for each language that you want to support. For example, if you want to support English and French, you would create two resource files one for English and one for French.
  3. Add the localizable resources to the resource files. For each resource, you will need to provide a translation for each language that you want to support. For example, if you have a label that displays the text Hello, World!, you would provide translations for this text in each language that you want to support.
  4. Set up your software to use the resource files at runtime. To do this, you will need to use the TMultiResBitmap and TMultiLang components. The TMultiResBitmap component allows you to load images from the resource files, and the TMultiLang component allows you to load strings from the resource files.
  5. Set the current language at runtime. To do this, you can use the TMultiLang.SetLang method, which allows you to specify the language that you want to use. You can call this method in response to a user action, such as clicking a language selection button.
  6. Localize your user interface. To localize your user interface, you will need to bind the localizable resources to the appropriate controls. For example, you can bind a label’s Caption property to a string in the resource file, or bind an image’s Bitmap property to an image in the resource file.
