Hi,
studying the RichPad sample I've found two functions used to retrieve
language strings.
LT()
LT2()
What is the difference between them ?

Giussepe,
LT2() takes off the '&'.

LT2() removes all "&" characters from the string. However, if you need to
show an ampersand in a string, just type it twice: "&&".
It's usefull, i.e., when using the same string for a menuitem and a form
title.

Thanks.
I've also noticed that in some cases extra parameters are sent for an
"inline" replacement into string.
Do I have to call this parameters %1, %2 .... %n into the string to be
processed ?

Yes. You can use %1, %2, etc. in the string, and call LT() passing the
string and other strings to be replaced. I.e:
- The resource string is: "Error: %1 in module %2, line %3"
- Call it as: LT( MY_STRING, "Some error", ProcName(), LTrim( Str(
ProcLine() ) ) )
It's similar, but limited, to printf() in C

Is there a function which let me know the supported languages linked to an
application (i.e. the stringtables defined ) ?

GetLanguages() returns a bi-dimensional array. Each element is { nIdLang,
nLangName }.
But you must create a specific stringtable with the languages supported by
your app. I.e:
STRINGTABLE LANGUAGE 0,0
{
3 "Català"
7 "Deutsch"
9 "English"
10 "Español"
12 "Français"
16 "Italiano"
22 "Portuguese (Portugal)"
86 "Galego"
}
Then, you have to write the stringtables for each language supported. I.e:
#define MENU_FILE 1001
#define MENU_NEW 1002
#define MENU_FORM 1003
....
STRINGTABLE LANGUAGE 10, 0 ; Spanish
{
MENU_FILE "&Archivo"
MENU_NEW "&Nuevo"
MENU_FORM "&Formulario"
....
}
STRINGTABLE LANGUAGE 16, 0 ; Italian
{
MENU_FILE "&File"
MENU_NEW "&Nuovo"
MENU_FORM "&Form"
....
}
