RC file in SDL ?

Hello!

I received an .rc file from my client.

Apparently, this file contains 3 languages : FR, then ENG, then SP.

My client needs the translation into POLISH.

How can I handle this file type in SDL. I tried to create a new file type, but I'm (still) struggling with regex !

here is how the file is structured : 

Screenshot of an .rc file opened in a text editor showing lines of code with comments indicating French language segments enclosed in quotes.

It seems (to me) quite simple since the segments to translate are delimited by quotes.

Can I have some help on how to create a new file type ?

Thanks !

Isabelle

    It is simple.  The only "harder" problems to resolve are probably these:

    1. Do you have to add Polish into the file?  You mentioned it contains three languages, so do you have to add a fourth or replace one of the existing?
    2. Are they completely in single blocks of languages?  So all the FR, then all the EN and finally all the ES?  Or do you have repeated sets of three languages, such as FR/EN/ES then again FR/EN/ES and again FR/EN/ES etc.

    Knowing this is important because you won't be only translating everything you see.  You may have to do some filtering in the file itself.
