GNU Gettext for Delphi and C++ Builder

GNU Gettext for Delphi and C++ Builder is a versatile translation toolkit designed by Olivier Sannier and available in its latest version 1.2.2. Compatible with Windows XP, 7, 8, 10, and 11, this development tool serves a broad range of programming needs. Previous versions, such as 1.2, and 1.1, have been well-regarded, but this latest iteration incorporates several enhancements that solidify its standing in the IDE subcategory.

One of the highlights is that this toolkit can handle translation of numbered items, making it adept at converting phrases like '0 files', '1 file', and '2 files' into the appropriate linguistic variations for different languages. The full Unicode support ensures robustness without relying on the Microsoft Unicode layer, which is a significant advantage. Developers working on proprietary or closed-source commercial applications will appreciate that it can be used at no cost.

Another compelling feature is that translators can see the translated program in action before submitting their translations back to the developers, ensuring optimal accuracy and contextual relevance.

Pros:

• Free download available
• Comprehensive support for diverse OS, including Windows XP/7/8/10/11
• Full Unicode support without Microsoft dependence
• Excellent tool for translating numbered items
• Translators can validate the translation in action

Cons:

• Limited to specific IDEs like Delphi and C++ Builder
• May require some learning curve for first-time users
