Using a different Language
Up ]

 

WebCompiler 98 has the ability to create presentations that have a user interface (Menu/Toolbars etc.) in a language other than English.

To do this you must supply a "language translation file" which contains the menu item and toolbutton text you require, and text for the password dialog. You then select that translation file on the Interface tab in the Compiler Options dialog.

Note that this does not cause any translation of the design-time environment, only the presentation you create will have the translated interface.

The format of the language translation file is fairly simple (much like an "ini" file). Check first at our Web site at www.webcompiler.com to see if a translation file for the language you are interested in already exists. If not, you can create your own.

Language Translation Files have a default extension of "wcx". Use copy and paste to copy the following into a file with an extension of .wcx, for example "swedish.wcx", and then go through it replacing the text on the right side of the = signs with the text you require. Note that the & character causes the following character to become the "accelerator" and become underlined when it appears in menus.
