All your original files are left untouched(!) and you'll find, besides the file baselanguage.catalog, all altered files with a leading loc_...simply choose the main source file... all used includes are searched and, if you have already a var which contains translations (i.E. the Language$ used by the VD of PB) it is searched too and the already used strings are added to the file.
REMARK: the datasection must have the label BaseLanguage
What's not working:
gtk-commands are not supported yet.. but maybe they'll work right out of the box (not tested yet)
you cannot exclude included files from translation (will be added) DONE
double entries are not eliminated (will be added)
no datasection is created.... (will be added... maybe)
commands within a command could cause a problem...
What you have to do:
if you already have a language var... comment all lines referring to this var and comment out the existing datasection as this one isn't needed any more
you have to read the languagefile (a routine is written in the main source at the top of the file)
if you want to run the altered files (leading loc_) you have to change the lines with the includes (i.e includefile "common.pb" to includefile "loc_common.pb") maybe I'll add this in a next version
translate the strings in another language
you can add or remove PB-Commands to be searched in the file commands.txt
if you use it for your apps, a credit somewhere in your app would be appreciated.. but is not a must
extract all files in a directory of your choice and start the app
choose a sourcefile (your main source)
if you have a variable already in use type in the name and check the checkbox
press Localize IT
An application with approx 25000 lines of code will be processed in approx 1-3 seconds .....
