and noticed that those strings that are target for the localization were
loaded from the resource file. So I decided to localize those dynamically
on-the-fly after there were loaded to the application. I did not know any
other way (except refactoring the code and inserting strings to source
code and ignoring strings in the resource file). But maybe I have to do it
then?
Yes, do it. Just grep through the source for every name of those
"quasi"-constant loaded from resource and replace it directly with
translated string literal. Anyway our catalogs are already some kind of
resources. ;-) And the code will be more clear and compact. Corresponding
strings from DiskUsage.rdef and any references should be, of course,
purged.
