Edit Language File
Previous  Top  Next

Editing the application language file can be performed any time after selecting a project.

Only the selected project language file is edited. This means that even after the project is compiled it can still be selected and the language file edited to change any incorrect translations then only the language file needs to be distributed to correct any translation errors in the compiled application.

Click the Edit Language File Button and the Edit Language File dialog will be shown:-

Figure 4. Edit Language Dialog

The language shown on the left is the language selected on the main form as your applications language this is the language under which all texts selected for translation during the scanning process are stored. Under this are four buttons which will move through all the words\phrases in the language file.

The right hand side has a dropdown where you can select the language for the translation. As you select the word or phrase on the left the current translation for this word or phrase is shown on the right in the language selected. If this field is wrong or blank simply enter the correct translation and click Save.

You will need to do this for all languages you plan to support with your application.

One tip. All phrases or words added for translation are allways added at the end so clicking the last button will display the last word or phrase normally after an initial scan the right hand box is blank awaiting your translation of the word or phrase on the left to the current language.
