I am wondering how to use other languages and how to NOT use 
other languages. I have all of the UI of my program translated to 
Russian, and I have the languages loading from the resource 
files, but I have no idea how to switch the language to Russian. 
Also, when adding file names to a StringListWidget, it shows 
"UNTRANSLATED: " before every file name, which needs to be 
removed.

Did you see example1 from examples folder in dlangui? It has two 
languages and allows switching at runtime via menu.

 Did you see example1 from examples folder in dlangui? It has 
 two languages and allows switching at runtime via menu.

But I don't know how to change the language for ui components 
such as buttons and text. And the most important thing is 
removing "UNTRANSLATED: " from items in my list.

Are you really see it on example1? It looks like you selected 
Russian language in "View"/"Interface Language" menu. Select 
English (in russian translation, it's first item of third main 
menu item -- "Вид"/"Язык интерфейса").

UNTRANSLATED: prefix is being added to all string resources not 
found in translation files.

For widgets, usually both plain unicode dstring values and string 
resource ids can be used.
E.g.
`label.text = "exit"c;` assigns string resource id 
(views/res/i18n/your_language_code.ini should contain line 
"exit=SOME_TRANSLATION_HERE", otherwise "UNTRANSLATED: exit" will 
be shown. Strings specified by resource ids will be automatically 
translated when language is changed.


`label.text = "exit"d; assigns plain unicode string value. Such 
strings remain unchanged when application language is changed.

In DML, when you assign string property as identifier (w/o 
quotes), it's considered as resource id. When "string in quotes" 
is assigned, it's plain string.

TextWidget { text: RESOURCE_ID } // translation must exist in 
res/i18n/*.ini files
TextWidget { text: "plain text" } // just plain text value
