Sorry: there is no RC filter in the Java (most recent) version of Okapi.
(RCs are seldom used nowadays)
There is no plan to add such filter at this time.

As you noted we do have support for RC files in the previous .NET version of Rainbow, but that's not cross-platform.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your response.

A couple of questions on the RC filters :-

What is the next best alternative to support these file formats in JAVA?
If not RC, then what is next compatible file format that that is used
these days to get the strings parsed/externalized on Windows platform ?

Want to know your opinion before I move on for a solution for the same.

I think OmegaT has a filter for RC.
I don't think it's a comprehensive support (e.g. it doesn't parse the binary-coded string that are used for string values in combo-boxes).
But it should work for most cases.

If not RC, then what is next compatible file format that
that is used these days to get the strings parsed/externalized

If you mean for .NET applications (many other things run on Windows) the main resource now are .RESX files and .XAML files. Both are XML-based. RESX is supported by Okapi, XAML can be to (but you will have to create your own filter configuration file (which can be simple or complex depending on the file format)).

Thanks go you two “deleted“ users… I changed .XAML to .XML, it was supported well
