—
The Pascal compiler has special support for the ‘ResourceString’ data
type. It generates a ‘.rst’ file. This is then converted to a ‘.pot’
file by use of ‘xgettext’ or ‘rstconv’. At runtime, a ‘.mo’ file
corresponding to translations of this ‘.pot’ file can be loaded using
the ‘TranslateResourceStrings’ function in the ‘gettext’ unit.
An example is available in the ‘examples’ directory: ‘hello-pascal’.
