Hi Giorgio,

To get the correct message being displayed in your _javascript_ alert you can use the method Ben suggested or you can change "ENCODERESULTS" in your witango.ini.

If you have ENCODERESULTS=TRUE then W�hlen will appear as W&#228:hlen

If you have ENCODERESULTS=FALSE then W�hlen will appear as W�hlen

You will need to restart your witango server for the change to take effect.

Dave,

thank you for your answer but my problem is the "translate" in _javascript_ of Witango Variable.

If I use a special european letter like "�" witango server translate in &#228 (I use encoding=_javascript_)

This is a real problem in _javascript_ code.

It's a limited of witango encoding ?

Bye

Regards

Giorgio

Giorgio,

There is no C style switch/case statement in Witango. It would be nice though, I hope they include it someday. I implemented a switch/case years ago with custom tags when they were first developed.

We built a multi-language application once. We did it something like this. Say you have 100 different text messages in 4 languages. You put them all in a 100 x 4 domain scope array, domain$textMessages. When the user picks a language you set a user scope variable, user$language, to 1,2,3 or 4. Then you can display message 42 in language 3 (or any other combination) with one @var tag.

Ie <@var domain$textMessages[<@var local$messageNum>,<@var user$language>]>

This way you don�t need to put the text in long if/elseif constructs. The messages can all be stored in a database or in a text file where they can be spell checked and grammar checked and corrected without touching your code.

Hope this helps

Dave Shelley

Subject: Witango-Talk: multi-language website

Hi all,

I have a little problem with a multi-language website.

See this sample:

<@ASSIGN user$Lang "DE">

.

.

<@IF "@@user$lang='UK'">
<@ASSIGN TextChoose "Choose before the number of passengers">
<@ELSEIF "@@user$lang='DE'">
<@ASSIGN TextChoose value="W�hlen sie zuerst die Anzahl der Passagieren aus" encoding=none>
<@ELSE>
<@ASSIGN TextChoose "E<@SQ> necessario in inserire prima i passeggeri">
</@IF>

.

.
<script language=_javascript_>
alert('<@VAR TextChoose encoding=_javascript_>');

</script>

If the language is deutch (lang='DE') the windows builds with "alert()" is "Wählen .... etc"

I choosed this alternative method :

alert(unscape('<@VAR TextChoose encoding=URL>'));

But is there another witango method ?

Is There a "switch/case like C" method that i don't know ?

Thanks

Best regards

Giorgio
