Resource DLL Wizard in BDS2006

Does BDS2006 have a Resource DLL Wizard like CBuilder5? If not, then what is
the proper way to develop localized applications (EXE and BPL) ?
Thanks,
Roberto

BDS in general - yes.
C++ specifically - unfortunately, it does not appear to be available at the
moment, or else I simply can't find where Borland put it.
Localization support has been vastly redesigned since the days of BCB 5.
BCB 6 introduced a new "Translation Manager" that handles localization. It
still exists in BDS 2006, but it is now integrated directly into the IDE
itself. There is a "Languages" item on the "Project" menu. After you
compile a Delphi Win32 or .NET project, the Languages menu allows you to
create/update specific languages for the compiled executable. It
automatically creates and names the appropriate DLLs, and then provides a UI
within the IDE to edit the contents of the localized strings for each
language.

Thank you for the prompt response.
Will it be availabe in update 2?
Sometimes I have the impression that Borland wants us to just dump C++ and
migrate to Delphi!!

It's not available for C++. Hopefully, "for the moment". I think
someone mentioned a QC entry for that - if not, I volunteer to make one.

Couldn't find one - submitting now (# 27186). As an interim measure, I
created an app to help creating localized versions of C++Builder apps,
whoever is interested is invited to take a look at my homepage at

I cannot answer that, since Update 2 is not released yet.

Not true. C++ support is being revived with BDS. But you have to
understand that the C++Builder series was YEARS behind the Delphi series.
It takes a lot of effort to make sure all of the newer Delphi 7/8/9/2005
features and enhanceents can be made to work with the C++ personality. Some
things still have not been implemeneted/adapted yet.
