Using Multilingual Support at Runtime (Magic xpa 2.x)
The contents of the following texts will be translated automatically at Runtime using the Language Translation file:
-
Controls' Text property
-
Button’s Format property
-
Entry Name column in the Menu repository
-
Prompt type help screen's Text property
-
Verify operation's Text property
-
Forms' Form Name property
-
Field Names text
-
Index Names text
-
Index Segment Names text
-
I/O Output File Names text
-
Choice controls' (radio button, combo box, list, tab) Display List property
The actual data value used to set the active selection will remain as defined in the project, regardless of the displayed translation string.
During development, all operations that check the size of text in controls (Fit size, APG on variable), create the control according to the original size of the text and not according to the translated size of the text.
When using translation text for choice controls, make sure the number of options in the translated text is exactly as the number of options in the original text. Failure to do so may cause unpredictable results.
