4.13 Language translations
4.13.1 Introduction
You can create your own language translation files for use with your TDU 107 and AGC.
NOTE If you have already edited your own translated language(s) files on your AGC, these are included in the create function.
You will then only need to edit the TDU 107 specific texts. All previously translated texts for your AGC are included in the
extracted language file.
How to do translations
See our tutorial on How to translate texts for help and guidance.
4.13.2 Before you begin
DEIF recommends that you read the following notes before attempting to create or edit language files.
Required tools
• USB drive (FAT32)
◦
To import/export the file(s) to your PC.
◦ Must be formatted for FAT32 file system to be recognised by the TDU 107.
• +
◦
To edit the language file(s).
Language files
The language files have a required structure for them to work correctly with your TDU 107.
• Each language file is a comma-separated file (.csv) using the semi-colon (;) as the delimiter.
◦
Make sure all entries keep the delimiter (;).
◦ It is important that the format and structure of the file entries remain the same.
• TDU 107 specific entries, that is to say, for the display screen, all start with a hash (#).
• The first set of texts are for TDU 107. The second set of texts are for the AGC.
• The default master filename is ma-ma.csv .
◦ You should rename this file to your required language name.
◦
For example, for British English: en-gb.csv .
• The file is formatted using UTF-8, in UNIX format.
◦
DEIF recommend using + to edit your translation files.
◦ Do not use a typical windows spreadsheet application, such as Excel, to edit or save the file. This will change the formatting
in the file and it will no longer be recognised correctly by the TDU 107.
• The language and country is configured by using the standard ISO codes.
◦
Language: ISO639-1
◦ See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes (Provided in English)
◦ Country: ISO3166-1 (Alpha-2)
◦ See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2 (Provided in English)
NOTE The TDU 107 only reads the AGC texts at start-up. If you edit the AGC texts in the Utility software, while the TDU is already
running, you must restart the TDU 107 to read the new texts.
