Localizing a Run-time Image Configuration File (Windows CE 5.0)
To localize a run-time image configuration file
Create your run-time image configuration files by using unique tokens in place of the values to localize.
By convention, the token is commonly LOC_*.
The following code example shows how to use the LOC_FRIENDLYHAYESCOMPAT token in a Common.reg file.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ExtModems\HayesCompat]
"Port"="COM1:" "DeviceType"=dword:1 "FriendlyName"=LOC_FRIENDLYHAYESCOMPAT
Create your .str files to include localized strings for all the LOC_* values that you created in your run-time image configuration files.
If you do not create localized strings for all LOC**_*** values, Platform Builder will return an error during the Makeimg.exe process.
The following code example shows how to define the LOC_FRIENDLYHAYESCOMPAT token in an .str file.
// Common.reg translations
#define LOC_FRIENDLYHAYESCOMPAT "Hayes Compatible on COM1:"
The next time you run Makeimg.exe, Platform Builder replaces LOC_FRIENDLYHAYESCOMPAT in Common.reg with "Hayes Compatible on COM1:".
