Lingobit Extractor

English is the most commonly used language around the whole world, and due to this reason, you will find most of the programs developed with an interface in this language. Suppose you have developed a very nice multimedia player application which you intend to upload on a websource for use by users all around the globe. If the developed application is only in English, you may lose out users who are French, German, Chinese, Portuguese or others who do not understand English. Definitely you don’t want this to happen to your application which, in spite of having an exclusive set of features, might be rendered unusable due to missing localization. Lingobit Extractor v.1.1 is a fast and efficient application for adding desired localization to your application in a simple manner.

Lingobit Extractor v.1.1 works by extracting the hard-coded strings of commands from source code of your application and extracts it to resources. The source code may be in any language like C, VB, Java, C#, Delphi, .NET and many others. Thus you gain from its wide usability and reach in various programming platforms. The program has comes with an intuitive Graphical User Interface in which the required application project can be opened directly from the menu bar. On the left hand side vertical column, you can see a list of various sources and the corresponding content of sources can be viewed in the display box of the program. After the extraction of source code to resource file is complete, the program updates the hard-coded strings as and when you do the software update. The program seamlessly functions with files and folders and simultaneously shows you a preview of files of the source code.

To sum up, Lingobit Extractor v.1.1 is a perfect application for adding the desired localization to user’s applications in the easiest and fastest manner possible, leading it to score three and a half rating points on the scale of five.

Lingobit Extractor is a new tool for software localization. The tool solves a huge part of internationalization tasks by extracting hardcoded strings from source code to resources. It supports C, C++, C#, Delphi, Visual Basix.NET and Java languages.
Benefits
* Automatically extracts hardcoded strings
* Creates resource files with extracted strings
* Updates hardcoded strings after software update
* Works with individual files and folders
* Runtime preview of source code files
* Highly customizable templates
* Review and editing of extracted strings
How it works
Lingobit Extractor extracts hardcoded strings from source code. It replaces hardcoded strings with a code template that loads them from resources and creates an RC file with the extracted text. For example, the C++ code
printf(L"Hello, world!");
will be automatically replaced with...
printf(_LS(IDS_HELLO));
where _LS is a function that loads the string from resources, IDS_HELLO is an automatically generated ID for the string that was placed into the resource script file.
There are a lot of configuration options so you can control every stage of the extraction process. Furthermore, you can preview all changes in source code and edit the extracted strings in the resource table.
It is a very useful tool for software developers, translation and localization agencies and other companies that face internationalization challenges. It automates the hardcoded string extraction process and makes it very easy to prepare source code for software localization.
