The TriBBS Bulletin Board System 93
MULTILANGUAGE SUPPORT
---------------------
Almost all of the text that a caller sees when calling a TriBBS board
is contained in a language file called LANGUAGE.001 in node 1's MWORK
directory. You can add other languages by first creating a language
menu configuration file called LANGUAGE.MNU in your NWORK directory.
The following is an example LANGUAGE.MNU file:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
TriBBS Default
French
German
Spanish
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For the above system to function correctly, you would need to have a
French version of the TriBBS language file called LANGUAGE.002, a
German version of the TriBBS language file called LANGUAGE.003, and a
Spanish version of the TriBBS language file called LANGUAGE.004. All
of these files must reside in node 1's MWORK directory.
You can also create multilanguage display screens and menus. Let's
say you want to create a French version of bulletin number 1 for the
board that uses the above LANGUAGE.MNU file, you would need to at
least create a BULLET1.B02 file for the French ASCII bulletin and you
could create a BULLET1.A02 file for your French ANSI bulletin and a
BULLET1.R02 for your RIP bulletin. German versions would be called
BULLET1.B03, BULLET1.A03, and BULLET1.R03 and Spanish versions would
be called BULLET1.B04, BULLET1.A04, and BULLET1.R04.
Multilanguage menu names are numbered in a similar manner. If you had
multilanguage versions of your main menu for the above example system,
you would call them MAIN.M02 for the French version, MAIN.M03 for the
German version, and MAIN.M04 for the Spanish version.
