Sisulizer's third party components support program
Sisulizer has three level support for VCL and .NET components.
Third party components are sometimes very hard to localize. Some
third party controls hide text strings in proprietary
binary data and undocumented structures. In this
case we need some information from the third party tool vendors
about the format of this data.
- Some vendors already provide these information.
- Some vendors are ignoring the needs of software localization
tool creators like Sisulizer.
Below you find information about the status of the three levels
of third party components support. If you are in the decision
phase of buying third party controls for your application you
should not forget to test if they are fully localizable
with a software localization tool.
Please be aware, that this is not a technical
problem of Sisulizer. If the component developers decide to use
hard coded strings or hide the strings which need to be localized
in proprietary data no software localization tool will
be able to read. We at Sisulizer care for this
problem some other localization tool vendors simply ignore.

Fully supported
third party components
These components have been fully tested with Sisulizer and Sisulizer
can give the best localization experience technically
possible. We can even give localization related support
for users using these components.
These component vendors have already joined our third party program.
These tool vendors care software localization and we recommend
their use in to be localized software.
Attention: Even if they are fully
supported some components may have a few hard coded strings that
can not be localized by any localization tool. This is
not a limitation of Sisulizer!
Partially
supported third party components
These components have been tested with Sisulizer
but because the vendor has not joined our third
party program we can not guarantee their localization. We can
not give support to users using these components.
If you use these components below please contact the
component vendor and ask them to join our program. We
already contacted most of them but it seems they do not see the
advantage be fully supported by a software localization tool like
Sisulizer. Perhaps they change their mind if their customers
ask for localization support.

User mapped
third party components
Of course all other components can also be localized if they
are coded properly. You have to manually map the components in
Sisulizer. This takes only a few mouse clicks.
If the control does not hide the data to be localized then this
is all. Sisulizer recognized your mappings. You only have to do
them once.
If you successfully use them please send the map file to us plus
some information about the components and the vendor. We will
add the mapping to the next Sisulizer build and other users can
profit from it. Please also contact the component vendor
and ask them to join our program. As long as we have
not the needed information from the vendors we are not able to
support our customers.
