Helicon Translator makes it easy to internationalize and localize applications written in Borland Delphi. This allows to create true multilingual applicatios for the global market.

Helicon Translator uses Delphi’s native localization technology and generates localization libraries for all languages. Helicon Translator supports the translation of forms, resource strings, version resources, custom resources and so on. The localized resources are stored in an extenal resource library, thus languages can be added without recompilation of the project. It keeps track of the translations, hence it is not necessary to translate the whole project from scratch each time a modification has been made. The included commandline-version of the resource generator makes it easy to automize the build-process.

Major Features at a Glance

Support for Borland Delphi VCL

Helicon Translator supports the internationalization and localization of Applications written with Borland Delphi/VCL.Win32.

Helicon Translator uses Delphi's native multi-language support. This means that even resources used by 3rd-party components can be localized.

Translations are stored in a external resource library. The VCL automatically loads the correct language resources.

Support for all major Languages

Helicon Translator offers localization and traslation into almost all languages.

All languages that got a language-code by windows are supported. A complete list of languages can be found here.

Unicode-Widestring-Support

The support for Unicode-Widestrings (UTF-8 and UTF-16 WideChar) makes it possible to localize applications for regions that use multibyte-charactersets like most Asian countries. Internally, Helicon Translator stores all strings in Unicode and uses Unicode-Controls for input.

Translation History (Dictionary) and AutoTranslate

Helicon Tranlator stores all traslations in the Traslation History (Dictionary). Thus, translations can be easily reused.

Since Helicon Translator stores the location of translated form resources, translated resource files are automatically available if a resource is shared over multiple projects.

Export and Import of Resources for Localization

Helicon Translator allows the export and import of resources into text-files. This makes it easy to outsource translation because the translation office or service does not need to install Helicon Translator to make translations.

Since properties can be protected there is some protection against unwated changes.
