Multiple Language Interface - The database approach

  • Make list of Menu Items from a list in a database so they can be added dynamically
  • MUST: Include code to create database file > because each language will be a database file of its own


Language Menus

  • SELECT LANGUAGE
    • ENGLISH
    • POLISH
    • ....
  • ADD NEW WORD
  • ADD NEW LANGUAGE

Pages

  • Data Base full language selection
    • 1st column = english
    • 2nd column = *ADDED LANGUAGE*



Functional Examples

Example #1

  • Header1=deg '-- set the header of a column on the temperature profile sheet to 'deg'...short for degrees

Change to:

  • Header1= Translate(deg)

Translate will be a function that queries a database for a foreign language entry: Language='POLISH' Word='deg'


Example #2

Display function can be used to intercept all UserPrompt text messages > Translate(Message)


Example #3

  • Design of language interface should learn. The user should be the source of the translation!
  • Must have a language database interface that allows a user to input his language. Even allow an english respin on my terminology.
