Localizing

[ByteRipper]

Hi,

i was trying to localize my script and this is what i came up with.
You need the Multidimensional Associative Arrays UDF from here
That's the language file

GuiTitle=Example
Label=Text from Language-File.
Button_Help=Help
MsgBox_Title=Test
MsgBox_Text=This ist a test for localizing and@LF@using ExpandVarStrings@LF@to use macros in strings@LF@@LF@Have fun!

Here is an Example
 

#include <File.au3>
#include "Associative.au3"

Opt("ExpandVarStrings", 1)

$LangFile = @ScriptDir & "\english.lng"
_LangToX($LangFile)

$hForm = GUICreate(x("GuiTitle"), 300, 300)
GUICtrlCreateLabel(x("Label"), 5, 5, 200, 20)
$idButton_Help = GUICtrlCreateButton(x("Button_Help"), 5, 30, 50, 20)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case $idButton_Help
            MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, x("MsgBox_Title"), x("MsgBox_Text"))
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _LangToX($LngFile)
    Local $aKeyValue = 0
    Local $i
    _FileReadToArray($LngFile, $aKeyValue, 0, "=")

    For $i = 0 To UBound($aKeyValue, 1) - 1
        x($aKeyValue[$i][0], $aKeyValue[$i][1])
    Next
EndFunc   ;==>_LangToX

Hope someone find this usefull.

You can simply use the Map datatype.

Show function x()

I thought that Maps is still experimental and may be changed or removed without notice.
The Funtion x() comes from the UDF. It gets or sets a value in an Associative Array.

Maps are now rock solid and will remain available forever, whatever forever means.
