Maybe my previous post was not clear enough. It is possible to align all files in one single step, but there are 2 pre-requisites:

• The project must be setup in a way that the target path and file name in the project is pointing to the translated files on your hard drive
• If the resource files support internal language tags that are read by Passolo (i.e. from a DLL) the language tags in the resource ile must match the project target languages

(David, please shout if you feel like I'm hijacking your thread.)

Thanks for following up, Achim.

After much fiddling I now have the target path and file name settings the way Passolo wants them, so I think I've taken care of your first bullet point.

But now I'm getting a "Target language not found" error when I try to run Scan Target File (Alignment) on all of the files. When I do one individually, on the Alignment dialog in the Language to extract dropdown I'm offered two choices:

• neutral
• Japanese

Does this mean that Passolo thinks my files contain another "neutral" language in addition to Japanese? The language is declared in this section at the top of each .RC file:

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Japanese resources

#if !defined(AFX_RESOURCE_DLL) || defined(AFX_TARG_JPN)
#ifdef _WIN32
LANGUAGE LANG_JAPANESE, SUBLANG_DEFAULT
#pragma code_page(932)
#endif //_WIN32

In the Passolo project I have specified the target language as Japanese and the code page as 932.

Some background on my project:

• Japanese is the only target language.
• I am working with .RC files, no .DLLs.

Thanks very much for your help, Achim. Regarding the language codes, it looks like Passolo is following this list or something similar:
