Setting up language packs

[James]

Oh, it would be a big file eventually but I have:

English

Spanish

1337

Norweigan

Debug

And it takes: 1kb

@Secure_ICT : Sure, thing. I'm glad to help.

@BALA : Size..well, yes, INI has it's limits, but I'm not sure where it is...I've done similar things

before using INIs, but I've never reached any limit yet.

[BALA]

Oh! I misunderstood, I thought you were making it translate what the user types. Now that would be big!

[Danny35d]

Thats great!

Now if I wanted to add more languages, I could just add it to the bottom of Languages.ini right?

Another idea you can add an ini section and called [OSLang], then use macro @OSLang to get the OS language. Now when you application start using the OS Language as a default language or if you application don't have that language then use English as a default language.

Example

If you want to be sure never reach the ini file limit you can create a foler like Lang and inside the folder have one ini file per language. English.ini, Norwegian.ini, Spanish.ini, etc...

@Helge: Thankyou so much, you will have many credit to BetaPad.

@Ba-La: No for 1kb with 5 languages sounds good to me.

@Danny35d: That would get a bit long though, but would make it easier.

[Danny35d]

If this is for BetaPad you can use peethebee PowerTranslate. This tool will read your Betapad.au3 and replace all the Strings into variables and create an ini file for language. It will save you a lot of coding time.
