Progress Dynamics Managers API Reference

multiTranslation

This procedure performs multiple translations in one pass. It then stores the results of the translations in a temp-table, ttTranslate, for later use by the caller. The generated temp-table contains the widget type and handle for all the translated objects, so using the translated values is a simple process.

When the flag is set to translate all languages, extra records are created in the temp-table for each available language. The temp-table must initially contain entries with a language obj of 0. These entries are deleted following the translation into each language.

Location: af\app\aftrnmngrp.i

Parameters:

INPUT plAllLanguages AS LOGICAL

Set to YES to translate for all languages.

INPUT-OUTPUT TABLE FOR ttTranslate

The temp-table of translations.

Notes:

The all languages option works by accessing the database. It cannot run off cached information.
Dynamic toolbars only support global translations.
Window titles and tabs only support specific object translations.
Examples: See the translateWidgets procedure in af\app\afsesmngrp.i.
