I'll have to do that later today ! Anything I find if it's significant then I'll share it with you

I already did the SmkcCtrl conversion a long time ago, which is why I was baffled when none of it was working:

Would it be easier for me to zip up my test project and send it to you ?

I already tried that, when I do it the Ctrl + C shortcut disappears ??

That didn't work, sorry:

The SwitchSoftwareLanguage call works and has been working for some time. So I tried to add in this 'Ctrl+C' and a routine called FixMenuShortcuts;  

I am really impressed with BTM. It really does work and much better than ITM/ITE, but I have a problem, the same one I have with ITM/ITE:

As you can maybe see from the screen shot this was a little application I did in English and got BTM to translate to German, Which it's done, but the Shortcut's are not translated. I have checked and tried over and over the translated side is "Strg+" and it is all in there.

Do you know why this doesn't work ?

Anders,

I need it to be switchable in the code

I used to have a bit of code for doing this on ITE:

procedure TForm3.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
const
  GERMAN = (SUBLANG_GERMAN shl 10) or LANG_GERMAN;
begin
  if LoadNewResourceModule(GERMAN) <> 0 then ReinitializeForms;
end;

However, I had forgotten what needs to be in the uses for this.

Anders, I've started playing with this and already it's way better than ITE I think... Just struggling with one thing: How can you code it in delphi so that it switches from one language to another whilst in the application ?

Serge_G : It's all about not taking so many risks, they are an insurance firm. I can understand where they are coming from and there have been some initial conversion issues that caused data corruption, so now they are more cautious

Lars, sorry I have trawled my hard drive and I have tried the PS script you suggested and have tried using the Everything app searching for BDE*.ms* and nothing, nada !

Oh, I think you are right about FireDAC, but the customer is a bit adverse to it at the moment and wants to spread the "risk" out a bit and I can't blame them to be honest.

I am sorry to ask about the BDE in 2020, but we are trying to move a client from Windows7 to Windows10 and then eventually from the BDE to FireDAC

I installed BDE v5.01 onto my machine using the installer ( 30868_bde_installer_for_rad_studio_delphi_c_builder_10.3_rio ) and apparently in order to give the client the ability to insall the BDE I must find BDE_ENT.msi on my machine ( in %programdata% ) and then give them that file to install. However, I cannot find BDE_ENT.msi anywhere on my system. I have even gone into %programdata% and manually searched for it and it is nowhere to be found. 

So, I guess my questions are:

• Do Embarcadero still sell or make available for download or to purchase the Enterprise version for clients ( not developers ) with a proper installer ?
• Can a proper installer be obtained from anywhere ?
• If the customer already has a licensed version of the BDE Enterprise (v4) are they allowed to get an updated installer ?
• Will this work on Window 10 (v4 or the latest version) ?
• What is the latest version of the client side of the BDE ?
•  

Sorry for all of these questions, but like I said earlier I am trying to move a client from Windows7 to Windows10 and then eventually from the BDE to FireDAC. So eventually they will be on FireDAC, but for now we need to get the BDE working.

I am sorry, but I installed BDE v5.01 onto my machine using the installer ( 30868_bde_installer_for_rad_studio_delphi_c_builder_10.3_rio ) and I cannot find BDE_ENT.msi anywhere and I have Everything and still cannot find it. I have even gone into %programdata% and manually searched for it and it is nowhere to be found. Also the download link you provided, when the files are unzipped they are just folders to be copied somewhere ( I think ), but the instructions are not instructions I would want to give to an average user as they are far too complex.

So, I guess my questions are:

• Do Embarcadero still sell or make available for download or to purchase the Enterprise version for clients ( not developers ) with a proper installer
• Can a proper installer be obtained from anywhere ?
• If the customer already has a licensed version of the BDE Enterprise (v4) are they allowed to get an updated installer
• Will this work on Window 10 (v4 or the latest version)
• What is the latest version of the client side of the BDE ?

Sorry for all of these questions, but we are trying to move a client from Windows7 to Windows10 and then eventually from the BDE to FireDAC
