Thanks guys, thanks for the help, I will have a look at the links, just looked over cabinet, doesn't look, like it needs to be translated, they all seem to be debug messages.

you need have knowlges mage whole program unicode safe and ansic safe. some part of reactos that using hardcode string are often coding as ansic or Wchar and u need make sure the whole functions can take care of both.
it is not only to remove one string u need look at the whole program before u do it. if u want try remove hardcode string then u need have basic knowlges of programing and lite more.

Somewhere in reactos/lib/cabinet I found sourcecode calling functions like err, and the strings it gave to these functions looked like something output to the user e.g. errormessages like file * couldn't be found or something like this, so I wondered, if this should be translatable. As I don't know what kind of stings should be translatable, I just asked.
You need to understand the context in which the message is used. If it's system debug message, it will normally be hardcoded in. If it's a generic Win32 error message it should be picked up with FormatMessage. These will
be
output in the users preferred language via the LANG_SYSTEM_DEFAULT or LANG_USER_DEFAULT flags. Then you have simple MessageBox outputs which can be picked out of a resource file, but are generally hardcoded in. There
are
many other situations and usages, but I'll stop there.
As already said, becoming a programmer is the only real way of
understanding
it all.
Well, you say I should learn some things like structures of resource files, do you have any links for me?
There are thousands of C tutorials on the net. Here are a few: Tutorials : http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial.html Forgers win32 : http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/
Everyone has their favourite books, but these are probably the most
popular
for learning C and Windows programming: K & R :
