RCAlign
Overview
RCAlign is a small utility for aligning Windows resource (.RC) files, such as those created by Microsoft Visual Studio. This will mainly be useful if you are localizing documentation for software whose GUI has already been localized, and you have access to the RC files. You can then align the two RC files to create a bilingual glossary to use when translating, in order to ensure consistency.
This utility can also be useful when you are checking the translation of a previously localized GUI.
