multilingual application, how would you have done?

[dragancesu]

I started to make a part that will allow the application displays multiple languages​​, the one that the user selects

The question is what to translate? Strings in the program? it is the text on the screen, menu, label, etc.

Is this good thinking?

I've created a routine that takes out all the strings from the program but I do not believe that the choice of words / phrases for translation can be automated

I think HMG-IDE model is good and we can also follow the same.

Yes, is the same that I applied to STRU app.

Hola dragancesu,


En mi opinión, por ejemplo si tu todo lo programas en Español y si el usuario lo quiere en ingles, entonces todas las pantallas se muestran en ingles:

Menus, Pantallas, Browse, etc. A lo mejor no es el cambio instantáneo y tiene que abrir de nuevo la aplicación (pero sólo una vez!).


Saludos

Hello dragancesu,


In my opinion, for example if your all programs in Spanish and whether you want it in English, then all screens are displayed in English:

Menus, screens, Browse, etc. Maybe it is not the instantaneous change and have to open the application again (but only once!).

I've decided, but I have a problem, is it possible to MAIN WINDOW or MAIN MENU and shown again, like Refresh but this option does not?

[Javier Tovar]

Hi there,

You have to do the Refresh but each of the controls to make changes!

greetings

[dragancesu]

I understand, but how do Refresh of control MAIN MENU?

Code: Select all

      DEFINE MAIN MENU

         DEFINE POPUP google(2,_lang)
            MENUITEM  google(3,_lang)        ACTION edit_cost()
            MENUITEM  google(4,_lang)        ACTION edit_payment()
            SEPARATOR 
            MENUITEM  google(5,_lang)        ACTION edit_cost_pay()
            SEPARATOR 
            MENUITEM  google(6,_lang)        ACTION MainForm.Release
         END POPUP 

         DEFINE POPUP google(7,_lang)
            MENUITEM  google(8,_lang)        ACTION report_a()
            MENUITEM  google(9,_lang)        ACTION report_b()
         END POPUP 

         DEFINE POPUP google(10,_lang)
            MENUITEM  google(11,_lang)       ACTION tools_options()
         END POPUP 
         
      END MENU

Function returns a value, but it does not refreshes

This works on modal screens, the MAIN is not working, how to refresh? Not a good decision to leave the program and start again

Program is finish, I will upload soon

[dragancesu]

Hello everyone,

I finally got the program to display menus and other multi-language, for start 3

Google translate is and some translations are probably not good if you have a better translation can not write or enter in the table DICT.dbf and put it here

test.zip the program, home budget, and you have the option of showing you in English, Serbian and Spanish

If you like this, than I will upload program to help make translation
