Hi all,

i played arround with some Run-Time Translation of Conmpnents, because
I want to have such a feature in my apps.
I found, that you have done some work on such things. the TCaption
properties can be scannde by using RTTI, very nice .
But I as I tried to use this functionality on TActionLists, I found,
that the Caption and Hint Properties of TContainedAction are of type
String.
As I added some Lines in the ActionList unit:

Code: [Select]
type

  TTranslateString = type String;
  TCaption = TTranslateString;


To Avoid Circular references by with the Controls unit.
After That i changed the String Properties of TContainded action to
TCaption.
Now everything is fine for me.

Now my questions:
1. Is there a reason why this String-Properties aren't replaced ?
2. Could my modification or some similar solution added to the units
to have the TTranslateString - Feature in Actions ?

Thanks for all the work everyone has done here, great job
