Using this property you can internationationalize not only strings but any properties of components that can affect an application’s appearance after language switching, for example, a label’s width and height now may have differenent values for different languages.
Binary Storage: Besides the traditional technology for storing external translations in .SIL files the new one based on binary .SIB files has brought into operation. This technology is specifically designed for using with TsiLangRT component and allows to load and save translations at run-time a few times faster than from/to .SIL files.
