PowerGlot includes a dedicated parser for PowerPlant resources. PowerPlant is the popular framework distributed by Metrowerks with the CodeWarrior development environment. More, memory usage is kept very low. A database typically needs between 50k and 300k, depending on the volume of text that it contains. Translators can add their own comments on text items, and developers can put notes in the database to clarify the use of specific text strings.
Developers can also lock text strings, preventing unwanted translation.
Localizing an application often means that you'll have to resize dialog boxes, alerts, buttons, and do lots of text repositioning. PowerGlot provides a very powerful way to handle this. There are editable fields that you can change to modify the size of dialog items and items in PowerPlant windows. Of course, doing so by hand would be tedious. It's called Update .
