contants and localization

I realize I ask something for (maybe a very) future release but I would really like it if we can have constants to, for instance, localize our solution…

Example:

constant name = “gsm”;

If we would then have an german system this would say “handy”, if it would be dutch it would be “mobiel” and in all other cases “mobile”…

All such defined in the solution database…

localisation will be done right after 2.0

jippieee

Does this mean , you can have your solution in different(more) languanges? at the same time? 8)
How far does this go?

I can understand that you can translate labels etc..
but can it be done for dialogs? where the text mostly is hardcoded?
valuelists?

Are there points that we must consider now, if we want to make a solution that is suitable for this feature?

I have done such a thing in Filemaker (without this feature) and than it is a HELL of a job!

It will be possible to specify a table to use for all the text/tooltiptext etc,
in the textual properties you have to specify the key like “I18N:myStartActionText”.
In the client with the current locale the ‘myStartActionText’ will be searched in the specified table and the text will be shown

Exactly what I am looking for… Thanks!

GREAT! :D
