We need to decide what system we'll use for translating the Win32 port of DeSmuME.

Multilingual resource file (current system)

Gettext (like PCSX2)

Resource DLLs (like iDeaS)

Mini18n (by Guillaume)

Pros

  • made to be portable: works on both linux and windows and should be easy to port to other systems
  • made to be easily embeddable as a static library
  • use somehow the same interface than gettext, translating a string is just a matter of using _("some string") instead of "some string"
  • provide UTF-16 on windows with the _16 macro

Cons

Votes

  • Of course, I give my vote to my own system :)

Thank you for voting! :)

- <zeromus> one point: we may want to try and port some simple config windows to gtk. If we decide we like that, then we will want to have chosen a translation system that can work with it. I will try and do the gtk experiment soon.
