Localisation

[alifiyahirani]

Hello ,

I want to localize User interface as well as reports in HTML & PDF formats.

Looking for a toolkit that would do the translation for the GUI object labels.

For reports, if there is any API that would translate HTML and PDF reports from English to other languages (For now, specifically looking for info on translation from English to traditional chinese).

Your help is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Alifiya Hirani

I tried the toolkits, but it was easier and cheaper for me to do it myself.
In the last application, I wrote translations in the form of xls tables, each column - a separate language.
In the application, before running, I change the shortcuts, Boolean text or units of control and indicators.
Similarly, you can use the data in this table to translate text in reports.
But I do the reports using templates: when forming, I substitute only the variable values. In this case, you can use separate templates for each language.

Top tip for localisation of UI- show the captions for your front panel objects instead of the label. The caption can be changed programatically. You can use the export/import strings functionality (inbuilt) to set up a translation lookup file which is fairly straightforward
