Hi all,
May i know how do you guys implement translations into your application? If i do not want to use google translate, what other translations is compatible with livecode and has a guide on how to integrate into my stack or card script. Any replies would be appreciated!

Hi Eddy,
I am working currently on a translation application that, if it all works as expected, should make it very easy to make translations for any LiveCode application.
Features are:
- Make translations for all appointed controls in your stack(s)
- Make translations for texts through of a function.
- Split developer and translator tasks making it possible to have outside translators make translations for your applications.
I am stil in the phase of building (approx. 60% ready) but as soon I have a beta version available to test I will post this milestone
and ask for people to help me test
.
Regards,
Paul

Hi Coolion
Are you using an external API for the translation? If yes, which API are you using? I'm only trying to translate some fields and dropdowns.

Sorry Eddie, it is an actual manual translation tool that generates translation files for use in an application and not based upon an API that translates automatic for you. I do plan to link to a translation API to make translation easier for the translator but that is a different story...
So if you are looking for an API my solution does not help you.

Paul

Hi Paul,
I don't mind not using an API, it's better this way. What are your plans on doing it manually? Like how will you translate each field or user input?

Hi Eddie,
My tool will make it possible to make translations for all controls and other fixed texts in your application.
E.G. Label fields, DataGrid column names, Tooltips, Tabs and text you as a developer want translated to be able to have the app used by people with different languages.
Live translation for text that users type in it will not do. This is something you could do via an api from e.g. google translate, however most api's these days a commercial.....

Paul
