Windows RC files¶

Changed in version 4.1: Support for Windows RC files has been rewritten.

Note

Support for this format is under development. Some features might not yet be available and the behavior can change between releases. Feedback from testing is welcome.

RC files are language files used to localize translatable text, dialogs, menus, for Windows applications.

Example files¶

Example Windows RC file:

LANGUAGE LANG_CZECH, SUBLANG_DEFAULT

STRINGTABLE

    IDS_MSG3                "Try Weblate at http://demo.weblate.org/!\n"
