RE: [ros-dev] Hardcoded strings

[Murphy, Ged (Bolton)]

As GreatLord said, you will need programming knowledge to do this.

If you want to start making progress with this, you could start by getting a
sound understanding of C and basic Windows programming, including resource
file syntax. Then work from there.

You will generally find though that most stuff that should be in a resource
file, already is.

What have you found to make you think otherwise?

Sure, but the problem is, I don't really know which strings this are, 
and how I can find them.

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.

Well, you say I should learn some things like structures of resource
files, do you have any links for me?
