Hi,
I've just started to create a i18n version of one of my apps.
Trying out the Linuga / Dynamic constants stuff I've some
questions / thoughts:
- in the 'build options' window I can set a Region and a Language.
For what is the Region? I've found nothing regarding this.
This is for the old system. No longer needed.
- if I don't use dynamic constants I can set the langue with the
language dropdown box in the build options. This works well. But if
I use dynamic constants I always get a dynamic app which uses the
language of the OS instead. The dropdown seems to be ignored.
The local settings on your system control the behavior. In mac OS X,
you need to put the language you want to see at the top of your list
in System Preferences, international, Languages (TAB).
- If I whish to use Lingua I have to use dynamic constants, right?
You are right there.
- REALglot is not supported any longer and doesn't work with
current XML files, right?
Good riddance too.
- Files created with Linuga 1.1 cannot be imported (error message
in r2, crash in r3) only Lingua 1.0 works (but lacks of cause the
improvements of 1.1) when will it be updated?
There is a bug ticket on this : http://www.realsoftware.com/feedback/

- The only way to change a bunch of constants to dyn / not dyn is
to save as XML and do some ugly find / replace - right? do we have
a way with IDE scripting?
Or do it in the IDE itself
- On OS X I'm happy with the dynamic Language selection, but in
Windows I'm not. There is always this ugly 'Resources' Folder and
no way to choose a language different from the OS (e.g. if the OS
(on a Server) is in English language but I want to see my app in
local language). I'd like to have a single .exe again - which is
much more easy to distribute.
You need to go into Control Panel, Regional settings and choose a
country, this works. But I agree, don't like the resources folder
much, but then again, don't like windows much.
- Would you support a Feature Request to add in the build options a
switch 'build static language app' even if you have dynamic
constants? Otherwise the language selector drop-down doesn't makes
much sense to me anymore...
It is there, just don't choose dynamic strings, and it works.
I'm still using 2006r2 but I think there aren't major changes in r3
regarding this issue, am I right?
You are right there.
Best regards,
Trausti
