The Pascal compiler has special support for the ResourceString
data type. It generates a .rst
file. This is then converted to a .pot
file by use of xgettext
or rstconv
. At runtime, a .mo
file corresponding to translations of this .pot
file can be loaded using the TranslateResourceStrings
function in the gettext
unit.
