Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Translation Manager

Defining alignment and space

OpenEdge allows developers to use alignment literals after a text phrase —:L, :C, :R, :T. Developers can also specify the amount of space (in characters) that should be reserved for the string’s display. For example, specifying that side labels be right aligned can ease layout problems during translation. See OpenEdge Development: AppBuilder for more information on alignment of labels.
