- Thanks for downloading the Multi-Language Add-In for Visual Basic 6.0.
-
- ---------------------------------------
- WINDOWS INSTALLER
- ---------------------------------------
-
- To install this Add-In you need the Windows installer.
-
- If you do not have this, or you need a newer version, then you can download
- it from Microsoft using one of the following links:

-
- ---------------------------------------
-

- the Multi-Language Add-In by double clicking on the file MultiLang.msi
- in the Windows explorer.
-
- ---------------------------------------
- MDAC 2.5
- ---------------------------------------
- Version 3 of the Multi-Language Add-In requires the Microsoft Data
- Access Kit (MDAC) version 2.5.
-
- So far as I know, this is always installed on Windows 2000.
- However it may not be installed on Windows NT 4.0.
-
- MDAC 2.5 IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MULTI-LANGUAGE ADD-IN INSTALLATION FILE.
-
- You can download MDAC 2.5 (7.5 MB) at:
- http://www.microsoft.com/data/download_250rtm.htm
-
- Note:
- If you are not sure whether MDAC 2.5 is installed on your PC, then
- start Visual Basic (open a project) and select Project/References.
- If "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Library" appears in the list,
- then MDAC 2.5 is installed.
-
- ---------------------------------------
- VERSION 4.6
- ---------------------------------------
-
- Version 4.6 includes a search function.
-
- Version 4.5 includes a new feature to hide lines in the source code
- by appending the comment 'MLHIDE
-
- Version 4.1 includes a series of useability improvements.
-
- Version 4.0 includes a completely new Controls Database Editor
- including a class browser. This allows simple selection of the
- properties of controls and of child objectw within the controls.
-
- Version 3.3 fixes problems with the language selection list if
- the windows system language is non western (e.g. japanese)
-
- Version 3.2 adds the "goto line" button on the add-in's toolbar.
-
- Version 3.2 adds the "goto line" button on the add-in's toolbar.
-
- Version 3.1 improves the support for font-name properties, by defining
- a new property type in the controls database. You can now select whether
- you want to handle font name properties in project or not. (Important for
- non western languages).
-
- Version 3 of the Multi-Language Add-In adds support for Japanese and
- other far eastern languages.
-
- Support for text entry in far eastern languages is only be available under
- Windows 2000 (and probably XP, I havn't tried it yet). To enter text in a
- far eastern language, you must install the Windows Locale and Input-Method-Editor
- for that language from your original Windows 2000 CD.
-
- The global input method editor for Windows NT 4.0 will not be supported.
-
- Text entry in any given far eastern language will presumably work under
- a Windows NT 4.0 version in this language, but I have no intention of
- testing this.
-
- ---------------------------------------
- Windows 95/98/ME
- ---------------------------------------
-
- This version should install correctly on Windows 95/98/ME and on
- Windows NT/2000.
-
- Under Windows 95/98/ME, the (non unicode) component SftTreeX.ocx is installed
- in place of the (unicode) component SftTreeY.ocx.
-
- The non unicode version can only handle a reduced character set, which will not
- include far eastern character sets.
-
- ---------------------------------------
- LICENSE KEY
- ---------------------------------------
-
- Starting with version 3.23, you no longer have to enter a license key
- during the installation. You will be requested to enter it on starting
- the Add-In.
-
- On older versions, you can enter 00000-00000 during the installation.
-
- The unlicensed version is limited to translating 50 strings.
-
- ---------------------------------------
-
- How to use the Add-In is described in some detail in the help file.
- If you have problems or difficulties, see my web site or send me an email.
-
- If you think that this Add-In would be useful, but it is missing some
- important feature, then please let me know.
