You do not need Unicode to do multiple language support, but it will help
you in the long run and the overhead is not very significant.

We use resource only DLLs with a scheme similar to:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8fkteez0(VS.80).aspx

And it works really well. It doesn't depend on Unicode, but like I said, I
would still use it. We've gone away from ANSI altogether.

Hi,

I have do a little search and it ssems that if you want to write a
multi-language support program but not want to define "UNICODE", you need:

1. Put each resource file with different langauge in different dll. But I
haven't done this before. Is there any sample code teaches how to build
resource file into a dll and how to use the dll type rescource file in
program?

2. Use "SetThreadLocale()". But I don't the exactly usage of this API. Is
there any sample about this API?

3. Is there the third way to do multi-language support without define
"UNICODE"?

Thanks a lot!
