Options for RC Target Files

To select the options for an RC translation list

  1. Select the translation list in the project window.
  2. Select Home tab > String List Settings.
  3. Click Advanced in the Translation List Properties dialog.

In the Target File Options dialog, you can specify the encoding for the target file. Normally the first two or three characters of a Unicode or UTF file contain a value that specifies the encoding. If you don't want to write this byte order mark, select the corresponding option.

You can also specify, that backslashes are only written as \\, if there is no ambiguity in escape sequences. For example, if you choose this option then "one\two" is written as "one\\two", because \t is a tabulator. In contrast, "four\five" is written unchanged, because \f is no valid escape sequence in RC files. If the option is not selected, backslash are always written as \\.
