Moreover I accidently found a bug in wineconsole_Fr.rc (French resources) which contains in the very first line LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_DEFAULT. Very likely a cut&paste bug. Basically all you need is to surround the resources targeted for different languages by LANGUAGE [main_lang],[sub_lang] statement. Then just use conventional LoadString, LoadMenu, etc. functions. They use FindResource internally, which in turn does search for language dependent resources using algorithm described in loader/pe_resource.c/PE_FindResourceW. See dlls/kernel/locale_rc.rc, dlls/kernel/nls/*.nls for string tables for many different languages but using the same IDs. They are used by ole/ole2nls.c/GetLocaleInfo. A much more powerful way to do things would be to use FindResourceEx, but I would not recommend it, because it adds more power, but requires more attention since FindResourceEx is not allowed to return any language resource like FindResource (see PE_FindResourceExW). Here is an example of using of FindResourceEx to create a dialog explicitly requesting English resources: HANDLE hRsrc = FindResourceEx(hInstance, RT_DIALOG, MAKEINTRESOURCE(1), \ MAKELANGID(LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_DEFAULT)); VOID *tmplate = LoadResource(hInstance, hRsrc); DialogBoxIndirectParam(hInstance, tmplate, 0, MyDlgProc, 0); As I mentioned above, you would better replace FindResourceEx by simple FindResource here. It will provide a graceful rollback in the case if resource for a specific language is not exist. Good luck. -- Dmitry.
