SECTION 15
Multilingual Features
This chapter introduces CX-Supervisor's multilingual features to a new user,
and explains how to develop in, and create applications in languages other
than the default English, for example:
•
How a non-English designer can run the development tools in their native
language, even if they are creating an application in another language.
•
"How non-English runtime applications can be developed
•
How applications can be developed where the end users with different
nationalities can switch between 2 languages (i.e. Bilingual) or more i.e.
Multilingual
•
How applications can be developed for export, where the developers can
work in their native language and switch language before export, and
visiting maintenance engineers onsite can switch back to the development
language
Multilingual issues can be very complex, but like most areas CX-Supervisor
provides this functionality in an easy to use way, with a few simple dialogs.
The CX-Supervisor Multilingual features can easily be divided into two clear
sections: Development and Runtime. Users of each section have different
needs and so these sections function completely separately. For example, it is
possible to develop an application in any language, but this does not affect
which language the user must use at runtime in any way.
15-1
Development Features
For the benefit of the application developer the CX-Supervisor Development
application may be run in any major European language i.e. English, Spanish,
Italian, German and French. This means all menus, dialogs and error
messages displayed by the Development program are shown in this language
which provides a more comfortable and more efficient development
experience.
Note:
Projects created in CX-Supervisor versions 1.25 and earlier use Microsoft's
Multi Byte Character Sets (known as MBCS, or sometimes DBCS for 'Double
Byte Character Sets') for multilingual features. The formatting of character
tables in MBCS is not the same as Unicode. However, old projects are
automatically converted to Unicode when they are loaded, and will then be
saved in Unicode. See the section Loading old projects for important
information before you start.
Note:
The distinction between the development program and runtime program and
their respective target users is very important to understand, and will help you
understand the following sections.
Note:
CX-Supervisor is designed and tested for use with European versions of
Microsoft Windows. Every language permutation is not tested and no testing is
performed on other versions like Russian, Japanese or Chinese etc., as this is
simply standard Microsoft functionality. However you should ensure your
translated application can be correctly deployed before starting full
development, for example, by creating a small test application.
Note:
The formatting of character tables used by CX-Supervisor for multilingual
features is the worldwide standard Unicode format. This product therefore only
runs on Unicode compliant Operating Systems, i.e. Windows 2000, Windows
XP and later products.
