Foreign translation for revlet plugin

[arombauts]

When loading a revlet, I can define an image displayed during loading an thus I can put in it a text in the language of the user (let's say French). But I cannot act, it seems on the display shown when the revlet asks for an access to the local computer for instance. Is there an easy solution to this?...

Sorry, but I don't understand what's the problem: do you want that your revlet automatically detect the right language?
Or you need to apply a language translation based on user selection?
For example, the first time I execute the revlet, it can ask me preferred language. NOw you can store it and supply following messages in the right language. Right language can be stored in the server, inside a "dictionary", and you can dynamically load it when needed.

Thanks for you reply.
If Im' developing an application entirely in French, designed for French users, I expect that a first time user, thus needing to download the run-time plugin, to see instruction in French. The same when the plugin is running and it requires the user to allow for disk access.

ok, I think you can implement a similar feature. But the problem is: how can you show the help in French if you don't know that the user is a French boy/girl? Regarding the permission for disk access the concept is really different.

Generally speaking, you need to implement a kind of internationalization system.
I think you could create a kind of splash screen (welcome message), and you can ask the user what's his preferred language. Then you can supply the help file (and the whole program) in that language.
Do you think that it could be good "workflow"?
(NOTE: I don't think RunRev should implement a kind of internationalization system like "the local disk access", since software internationalization is a competence of the developer. Maybe RunRev could supply some tools - like a library - to simplify this process - software internationalization).
Cheers!

If the site is in French only it is clear it is intended for French language users...

Code: Select all

If the application is in French only, this is irrelevant

If you are using a flash application and the user needs to load the flash plugin, you are directed to a French version on Adobe site, don't you?

since software internationalization is a competence of the developer.

The message about the HD access is sent by the plugin not by the revlet, thus on the runrev side, am I wrong?

[ale870]

Yes, I'm sorry, now I understood what you way. You are not talking about the messages inside your application, but the plugin self (plugin created by Runtime Revolution Company).
I think, in this case, the real problem is the plugin exists only in english language (I think...). I didn't see plugins in other languages.
But your request is good and pertinent: for a web based application I want to download the RunRev plugin that "talks" my language: I agree with you.
Cheers!

Sorry if I was not clear enough: English is not my mother language...

Whats the Problem?

Create your own "noplugin" Site with a explanation in your prefered Language and a Button with a Link to the Plugin-Installation.

Replace the "noplugin"-DIV with your own Site and Image.

Thats all!

Nope!

"arombaut" also means the security dialog which comes from the plugin itself and is of course in scottish, erm... english, n'est-ce pas?
But unless/until Rev gives/opens an API for changing the strings/button label in that dialog we cannot do anything about it.

Best

No really...
1. The plugin redirects to a site in English...
2. When the plugin needs to acces the HD a message is displayed in English...
