Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Administration

Defining languages, countries, nationalities, and translations

Progress Dynamics provides both a development and a user run-time translation capability for application localization. That is, you can define codes for languages, countries, and nationalities. You can also provide translations for all of the UI widget labels, ToolTips, and even constant data for an application as you develop it. After you have deployed an application, users can modify or create the translations for the UI of any window they happen to be using. Menu translations are easy with a feature exclusive to the Toolbar and Menu Designer. The following sections describe how to use all of these localization options.
