Delphi localization support

I am trying to localize a VCL application, but I can't seem to find LoadNewResourceModule and ReinitializeForms. What unit(s) do I need to add to the uses clause for Delphi 10.3.4? Or is there another way to switch language dynamically?

LoadNewResourceModule and ReinitializeForms are only for an example purposes. They are not very practical because it recreates the form.

Here is a complete Delphi localization document. It also shows how to make the runtime language switch in the right way.

You can localize your application in many way

  • One exe for each language. The application always start in the language of the EXE. Deploy the EXE matching the user's language.
  • Original EXE plus one resource DLL for each language. You can have runtime language switch or just select a language at the time when the application starts. Deploy the EXE and any number of resource DLLs.
  • One multilingual EXE. Windows will select the language. You have no control for it. Deploy only the multilingual EXE.
