Each message consists of a minimum of five (5) lines: MessageId, SymbolicName, Language, 
language-specific translation, end-of-message line (consisting of a period).  
 

 

 

 

 

 

Key points: 

§ For each message select a unique MessageId. This is what identifies the string text in the 

language library and is what you will use in the API to retrieve this string.  

§ For each message select a unique SymbolicName, this value will be used by the MC compiler 

to create an include file that is used by the resource compiler. 

§ The language entered in the Language= line must match the language name entered in the 

LanguageNames= line. Only the language name should be entered. 

§ The language-specific translation must follow the Language= line. The translation may 

consist of multiple lines. 

§ A line with a period defines the end of the translation for the entry. 

 

3 Building a Language Library 

Copy the template project provided with the Toolkit and rename it to conform to the country or 
language for which you will be generating the library. For example, CtiOsLanguage.ESM.dsp. 

• 

Start Microsoft Visual Studio. 

§ Select File + Open Workspace … to open the Internationalization Toolkit Workspace. 

§ Double-click on the CtiOsLanguage.mc file, then select File Save As … and save the 

message file with a language specific name, such as CtiOsLanguage.ESM.mc.
