How to Use Delphi Translation Editor? - delphi

I am using Delphi XE3's Translation Editor.
This is the screenshot:
The GUI is rather confusing as there are many columns I don't know their usages. What I can guess is the white cells are editable and I can input the translated contents, and set the status as "Translated".
I don't know what is the usage of "Previous 中文(简体, 中国)(original)" or "Previous (简体, 中国)(translated)".
The official document is at http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE3/en/Editing_Resource_Files_in_the_Translation_Manager. IT does not explain how to use the editor and what is the usage of the columns at all.

SPSS: Changed color settings for model viewer

how do I changed the color for significant lines in SPSS model viewer for nonparametric results?
currently, the display is in orange lines. I dont see any options in Edit> Options > Viewer > Model Viewer.
If you change your preference setting in Edit > Options > Output to "pivot tables and charts", the output will appear in traditional form. You can double click a chart, which opens it in the Graphboard editor (rather than the more familiar Chart Editor), where some editing is possible. However, chart elements that are structural, i.e., that come from the chart logic, generally cannot be changed as this could violate the chart integrity.
It would be better if the Graphboard Stylesheet option choices applied to these charts, but currently they don't. It is possible to edit the standard stylesheet, but this is quite difficult and I wouldn't recommend it. I'm not sure that even then it would affect these charts.

Latex color box inline with text

I'm trying to put together a LaTeX color box. The xcolor package \fcolorbox seem to be what I want, but I can't get the rendering quite correct. When I use
\fcolorbox{black}{red}{}
it renders a small box sunken to the bottom of the text line. The best I've managed to do is to fake it with a similar text color:
\fcolorbox{black}{red}{\textcolor{red}{--}}
However, I'm worried that this won't render correctly in all situations with defined colors. Is there a way I can declare an empty text box with full in-line text height? Is there another solution?
I'm basically looking for the code that produces the color boxes all through the document at ftp://ftp.dante.de/pub/tex/macros/latex/contrib/xcolor/xcolor.pdf. The boxes I'm referring to are used throughout, but the first instance is on page 4. Thanks.
The xcolor.dtx file in the same directory as the pdf contains the source for the package and the source for the documentation. The relevant bits from the source for the documentation:
\def\testclr#1#{\#testclr{#1}}
\def\#testclr#1#2{{\fboxsep\z#\fbox{\colorbox#1{#2}{\phantom{XX}}}}}
...
(Answer: 40\% \testclr{green} $+$ 60\% \testclr{yellow} $=$ \testclr{green!40!yellow}, e.g., |\color{green!40!yellow}|)
Basically, use \phantom{} on the contents of your color box, and make sure that at least one of the phantom characters is full-height.

In Delphi, Is there a way to adjust the line spacing of a TMemo?

I'm working with a TMemo component to display some text in a limited space. Currently it's using a truetype font which doesn't ship with windows and is installed by the app when it runs.
On my PC (Running Windows XP), the spacing between each line of text seems to be about eight pixels. On a different PC running Windows 7, the line spacing seems to be about 14 pixels, which is pushing the bottom row of text out of visibility on the memo.
So, My question is really this:
Is this caused by the different versions of Windows? It's all I could think that was different.
Is there some way I can adjust this value so it would be consistent across all instances of the application, wherever it was running?
Alternatatively, is there a different component I could use which might let me tweak this value?
TMemo is a descendent of Windows Common controls and it's behavior depends on current Windows configuration so it is natural to get different results with it.
If you just want to display some information it's better to use components which let you set texts positions and their style precisely like TRichView. This component is not free but it has it's own text rendering engine and let you style texts with CSS like selectors which look the same in different versions of windows.
In addition to Mohsen's answer I'd like to mention LMD ElPack and it's ElEdit component which also has it's own text rendering engine. Unlike TRichView ElEdit is a plain text edit / memo component, so it's a drop-in replacement for TEdit / TMemo. And line height is configurable there

Linked minipages / boxes in LaTeX

I'm looking for a way of linking box-like environments (e.g. minipages) in LaTeX, so that text that does not fit into the first box spills into subsequent boxes. E.g:
/begin{box-like-environment}
Text, too much to fit in this box...
/end{box-like-environment}
% some LaTeX here, possibly covering several pages...
/begin{box-like-environment}
% Text which doesn't fit in the first box should appear in this box
/end{box-like-environment}
The effect is something like the 'linked text boxes' of MS Publisher. Any ideas as to if and how this could be achieved?
The idea being, I guess, that the program figures out where to split the text between the two boxes, say so that you can have the text filled between two floats that face each other on opposite pages.
I have no idea how this might be done in Latex; Latex lacks sensitivity to page layout, so I'd guess it can't be done. Context is more sophisticated with regards to layout: it uses METAPOST to handle page layout, not primitive Tex, and there was discussion of something similar on the NTG mailing list: cf. Hans Hagen's post.
Maybe this is an option? There is some software for automatic translation of Latex to Context.
I have been alerted to the flowfram package, which does this.

BiDi text in Delphi - How do you select text to edit by language like this pic?

I saw this picture and now wondering if/how you can do this in Delphi. The highlighted/selected text shows two forms of formatting, i.e. highlight color and hash lines.

I've done something very similar recently in a bible application, also done in Delphi.
The user can select a single verse and single words of the selected verses. (But this feature is not released yet, so don't bother looking for it)
I used the web browser control from Microsoft and added my own kind of selection handling.
I've done the formatting by enclosing the relevant parts with span elements and changing their CSS style. When the selection gets removed, I also remove the enclosing elements.
The hard part was backing the "visual" selections with a selection data structure and handling all the selection events (clicking, shift-clicking, shift-ctrl-clicking, ...)
Embedding IE seems to be an easier way to do this as DR says, but you can also do this manually by drawing it all on a canvas, an easy way would be to create two bitmaps (one without a selection and another selected (could be as complicated as you like - dashed, colored, ... )), and you need to know the positions/rects of all your characters which would be somewhat difficult for long texts.
You basically show the unselected bitmap, and overlap the selected parts by portions of the second image.
You would also need to handle the selection manually by OnMouseDown, OnMouseMove, OnMouseUp...
