Hello!
I can not understand how CT IDE 6.3 (or fpc) create .po files? There are many forms and modules in my project. I set the option "update .po while saving frm" in the project properties - the lines from some forms do not fall into the .po file when they are saved. I set the forced update option at the next compilation - sometimes updates, sometimes not. Even with "clean and build." I do not understand the patterns - when and under what conditions is the .po file updated?

The second question: how to get in .po resourcestings from third-party components? Many components come with ready .po files - how to properly attach them to my project?

The third question is: why do not strings from the properties of components of type TStrings fall into .po? For example, TTabControl.Tabs

Finally, the last question: SetDefaultLag correctly updates the application interface (all forms and resource strings) in the direction of EN ---> RU, but the reverse localization change does not work - the interface remains in RU localization, although the resourcestring is updated to EN localization. Why and what should be done so that everything works in all directions of localization change?

Sorry for my "runglish" - I use GoogleTranslator

Please Sir
try to upgrade CT to CT 6.8
CT 6.8 has a lot of changes from CT 6.3

Thank you, Sternas Stefanos!
After installation newest CT version localization in my project correctly switched in both directions.

But I have some questions...

How to use Po Builder? How to add .po-files from thrid-party components to my project?

You can use .po-files from third-party components
as is in your project

Just copy .po-files from third-party components to
your project .po-files folder

I think this will work.

Unfortunately, this does not work.
Simply putting the .po files in the folder with the .po files that CT generates during compilation is not enough. If the contents of the third-party .po file are added to my (main) .po file, then everything works until the project is recompiled again, after which the added lines from the main .po file disappear.
I think that the utility "Po Builder" entering CT should solve my problem. But I do not understand how to use it. I can not add anything to the lists of this utility, all buttons are disabled.

Really does nobody make multilingual apps? Really no one had a similar problem?
