I have inherited an application which has multilingual interface. The guys that originally designed the multilingual thingie are very proud of it. The only problem is they don’t speak any foreign language (they’re Irish).
Oh well. lblRows.Caption = Transform(Reccount(“crsCursor”) + App.Translate(“rows”) + App.Translate(“returned.”) I will let you guess what happens when this goes translated to a different language. And the worse thing of all is (and this is where the message subject comes from) they have translated the menu shortcuts. At first glance seems ok. Open… Ctrl+O for English. Deschidere… Ctrl+D for Romanian and so on. Problem is this approach f*cks up the QA guys and the power users badly, because it changes the keyboard shortcuts and you never know what the heck you’re supposed to press in order to bring a specific form on screen. Don’t do it, guys. It is bad. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
