Ah, by the way, the solution may be more permanent then one imagines, because there is no guarantee that the new type will solve anything for Lazarus, and one of the main reasons we use ansistrings is compatibility with current code, so I don't expect a jump to a new string type. Take a look at TTranslations.UpdateTranslation in this file here to see how I manage to have strings in both Delphi and Lazarus: http://magnifier.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/magnifier/trunk/translationsvmg.pas?view=markup The software is aiming to Delphi 2007 or older I expect things to change in the new Delphi. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
