RC-WinTrans X8 supports the localization of the following platforms and file formats:

• Win32 resource script files (RC, DLG)
• Win32 binary executable files (EXE, DLL)
• Windows INI files and InstallShield SHL files
• Microsoft .NET files
• Borland .NET files (RESX, EXE, DLL, TXT, RESOURCES)
• Java properties files (PROPERTIES)
• XML files (with restrictions)
• HTML files (with restrictions)

Adaptable File Converters
RC-WinTrans makes use of external (not part of the RC-WinTrans application) converters to convert data to / from a given format (format "X") to / from the XLIFF file format. This system makes it possible to support the translation/ localization of various file formats.

Additional file formats can be translated by hooking in a converter that can read and write a specific format.
