Run-Time Translation
Run-Time Translation
(OP)
Greetings Everyone,
I need help with Clarion's Run-time Translation feature. My program is written with english text on the buttons, menus, list-boxes etc.
I need to enable users to switch to German. I have not been able to figure out how this Run-Time translation works in Clarion.
Can anybody explain what one should do or post a simple example. I'm using Clarion 8.
Thanks,
Karl

RE: Run-Time Translation
I do not use translation in my applications, but the help would be first place to start. As you can see from the help below, it is fairly simple. I am not sure if there are templates for translation but there are 3rd party products like BoTran (http://www.comsoft7.com/BoTran_Help/index.html) which would make it easier.
