Hello,

Somehow Visual Studio doesn't like the value "Abiword Personal" as
preprocessor variable because of the space. I tried using "backslash
space" and other things, but Visual Studio always messes it up. The
Workspace files now use "Abiword-Personal" as ABIWORD_APP_NAME. This
means that the language string-file (e.g. de_DE.strings) isn't
loaded, so AbiWord always appears in english. To correct this,
create a copy of your strings-file and change the tag <AbiStrings
app="..."...> (somewhere in the first few lines) from "Abiword
Personal" to "Abiword-Personal".

Note that the *.strings files in the windows version have to be in
..\AbiSuite\AbiWord\strings (relative to your AbiWord.EXE file).

Now you have a localized version of Abiword while debugging in MS
VC++.

Harry

p.s.: Sam, please put this hint on your site...
