I am creating a library (simplified example):

library my_library;

uses LCLTranslator;

resourcestring
  LibraryDescription = 'My test library';

function GetLibDesc : string; cdecl; export;
begin
  Result := LibraryDescription;
end;

exports
  GetLibDesc;

initialization
  // How to do translate resourcestring to 'ru' ?!
  SetDefaultLang(''); // no effect!
end.

I can’t understand how to use LCLTranslator.SetDefaultLang (or any other???) so that my function returns a description in the default OS language? my_library.ru.po-file created and placed in the same directory as the library.

Need help!!!

Try to use only units with less dependencies.
What do you want to achieve?

If you want to work with po files, you only need text-stuff dependencies.

I did not check yet LCLTranslator unit but maybe you can use some methods from it in your library code, without the need to link to all LCL stuffs.
