How can I search faster for name/value pairs in a Delphi TStringList?

Question

I implemented language translation in an application by putting all strings at runtime in a TStringList with:

procedure PopulateStringList;
begin  
  EnglishStri         


        

Answer 1

In Delphi 2009 or later I would use TDictionary< string,string > in Generics.Collections. Also note that there are free tools such as http://dxgettext.po.dk/ for translating applications.
