Translation or Internationalization Question
« on: November 21, 2025, 11:27:44 pm »
I have a lazarus application where the UI is written using Dutch by @Bart. What is the best way to translate this? Say to English to begin with please. Screenshot attached.

When I asked chatGPT it gave me this:
1   Enable i18n in project options
2   Wrap all text in _()   <<<-------------------------- What the @#$! is --()  :-\
3   Compile → Lazarus creates .po files
4   Translate .po files
5   Load translations with SetDefaultLang
6   Run — Lazarus switches language automatically

Is this the correct way to proceed?
