My localizable strings aren't appearing in ResEdit.



Q. I've got a resource defined like so:

   @start Strings, data;
   @chunk TCHAR ErrorMessage[] = "There was an error.";
   @localize "an error message that should be localized";
   @end Strings;

   The problem is when you try to localize this in ResEdit you can't see
   the "Strings" resource at all. What am I doing wrong?

A. How is the resource listed in the .gp file? If you have it marked as
   "data" then it will not be editable by ResEdit. Instead, use "lmem"
   which implies "data" but still allows the strings to be localized.
