GUI translation

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello,

During working on localization issues in Codejock library I fonund that to apply translation for Ribbon Backstage Page we need create it with calling CreateIndirect(). With RibbonSample this looks like:

CMainFrame::CreateBackstage(){
.....
    if (!m_pagePrint.GetSafeHwnd())
    {
        m_pagePrint.CreateIndirect(XTPResourceManager()->LoadDialogTemplate(CXTPRibbonBackstagePagePrint::IDD), this);
I have added such example in RibbonSample.
For using localized resources DLL you can use next code:
struct {    WORD wLanguage;
    LPCTSTR lpszEncoding;
    LPCTSTR lpszCaption;
    LPCTSTR lpszDLLName;
}
encoding[] = 
{
    {MAKELANGID(LANG_ARABIC,    SUBLANG_ARABIC_SAUDI_ARABIA),  _T("windows-1256"), _T("Arabic (Saudi Arabia)"), _T("ResourceArSa")},
    {MAKELANGID(LANG_BULGARIAN, SUBLANG_DEFAULT),              _T("windows-1251"), _T("Bulgarian"),             _T("ResourceBg")},
    {MAKELANGID(LANG_CZECH,     SUBLANG_DEFAULT),              _T("windows-1250"), _T("Czech"),                 _T("ResourceCs")},

Translations are saved in folder 'res\Resource_**.rc' for some controls, for example Calendar
c:\Program Files (x86)\Codejock Software\MFC\Xtreme ToolkitPro v18.0.1\Source\Calendar\res\Resource_zh_TW.rc
These .rc files should be opened with codepage as specified at the begining of every file

#if !defined(AFX_RESOURCE_DLL) || defined(AFX_TARG_ENU)#ifdef _WIN32
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
#pragma code_page(1252)
#endif //_WIN32

then it can be compiled to separate DLL for every language by building project
c:\Program Files (x86)\Codejock Software\MFC\Xtreme ToolkitPro v18.2.0\Workspace\Resource\Resource.dsw
