Bresacon Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Hi, everybody, I'm trying to implement support for a couple of languages in a program, and maybe I'm being too obtuse but the only thing that occurs to me is having the same variables modified on a global scope whose content get chosen in a function that assigns a language or another according @OSLang. I bet there's something better than that. Edited July 21, 2021 by Bresacon
leuce Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 The first thing that sprung to mind after reading your query was "I wonder if there are GNU Gettext supports for AutoIt?", and with that search term in mind, I found this: ...but I can't vouch for it.
water Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 I have written something like this many years ago. You create a file holding messages for each language. In your script you call _MsgInit to read all messages into an array. With _MsgGet you retrieve a single message and insert variable data into the message by replacing the & wildcard character. The example script MsgTest.au3 uses an ini-File but you can set the language to use by @OSLang as well.

TheDcoder Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Going to chime in with my own version of a translation UDF inspired from the original "Gettext" UDF: I think it is the most up to date one, so you don't have to worry about compatibility with the latest version. It is also the most simple one out there I think. EasyCodeIt - A cross-platform AutoIt implementation - Fund the development!
