There are two main editions of Localizer: Standard and Pro.
Both editions uses the same Language Wizard (which integrates Localizer with Delphi IDE) and Language Manager - freely distributed translator utility. So the main principles of work are equal for both editions (read Localizer Tutorial for more information). As for differences between Standard and Pro - you can find them in the following table:
| Processes properties of components on forms in your project |
Yes |
Yes |
| Processes string constants in resourcestring sections |
Yes |
Yes |
| Processes forms from third-party packages |
Yes |
Yes |
| Processes resource strings from third-party packages |
Yes |
Yes |
| Uses standard resource DLLs for localization |
Yes |
Yes |
| Automatically loads the proper language according to the system locale |
Yes |
Yes |
| Does not need additional coding in your application |
Yes |
No |
| Smaller size of distributed language-depended resources (language files) |
No |
Yes |
| Switch languages on the fly (without restarting the application) |
Partially |
Yes |
As you see, each edition has its own "pro and contra".
Use Standard edition if you need standard decision for localization accepted in Windows and if you don't want to include some "strange" code into your application.
Use Localizer Pro instead if you need to reduce the size of language files distributed with your application and if your users need to switch languages on the fly. In addition Pro edition allows you not to care about the language resources updating when the new version of your program is released. If you use Standard edition then all resource DLLs provided with your program must be synchronized with the .EXE file. So you should distribute the new version of resource DLL any time when new version of the program becomes available.
Using Pro edition you avoid all problems with updating language resources. Of course - it will be better to do it any time you release new version. But if you didn't do it - that is not the problem: your users still can use old language files with new version of the program. In such case all new messages, captions, etc. will be shown in native language but the program itself will work well.
