Multilingual Gui

[ty2d]

Hello,

i'm a newbie to autoit and right now i'm trying to make a admin tool which will help our helpdesk fullfilling their service to our customer.

because we've got several settlements here in the german region (the emea hq and the german hq) i want to make the gui multilingual (english and german) so if a user works on a english machine he'll get the english gui and on german machines the german gui.

my code for this looks like:

$strOsLanguage = @OSLang
$strLGerman = "0407"

If $strOsLanguage = $strLGerman Then
 #include <german.au3>
Else
 #include <english.au3>
EndIf

$mNetwork = GUICtrlCreateMenu ($_network_)              
   $msPing = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ($_ping_, $mNetwork)         
   $msNetPerf = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ($_netperf_, $mNetwork)           
$mSystem = GUICtrlCreateMenu ($_system_)                
   $msCmdPrompt = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ($_cmd_, $mSystem)          
   $msComputer = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ($_manage_, $mSystem)

The vars $_xxx_ are the language variables who are defined in the files german.au3 and english.au3 as Global Const. The If Else works, but the compiler gives me the following error message:

ERROR: $_network_ previously declared as a 'Const'

Global Const $_network_ = "Network"

$_ping_ previously declared as a 'Const'

Global Const $_ping_ = "Ping"

and so on

any hints for me? or is my approach wrong?

you've declared those 2 variables as const

seems like autoit doesn't like that very much

you could do an ini-file instead of your 2 extra-scripts from where the gui gets the descriptions

deine 2 variablen haste zu konstanten gemacht - scheinbar findet das autoit net so toll

du könntest das ganze 2sprachige auch über ein ini-file machen dann sparst du dir die 2 extr-scripts hast allerdings ein ini-file mehr

hm, could you give me an example how to do that?
