Plot Pack Translations (ActiveX/VCL)
Below you will find several sample translation files (TRN files) for use with our
Plot Pack components. The translation feature of the Plot Pack allows you to automatically
have the component replace text strings in the component at run-time with a text
string of your choosing. This is useful for internationalization of the Plot Components
in your application as well as customizations of displayed strings in the runtime
property editor, legend, cursor, tool tips, etc.
TRN Files are tab-delimited text files with English strings used in the Plot Pack
in the first column and the translated text in the second column. These files can
be loaded into the Plot Component or saved via the Plot Component design-time property
editor for later use. Once loaded into the component at design-time, the translations
will be stored into your form/dialog resources and will not need to be loaded at runtime.
You can use a translation file with any version of the Iocomp Plot Pack. They are
both forward and backward compatible. However, older translation versions used may
be missing newly added strings in the newer version of the component. You will need
to manually add the missing strings yourself if you will be using an older translation
version.
Templates
Note: The template provides a list of all of the English strings used in the plot control for Version 3 SP2. Each English string has been replaced with the same English
string with <TRN> appended to the front. Simply replace all of the text after
the tab character (i.e. remove the <TRN>
and English string) with the appropriate translation if editing the file directly.
You can also edit the strings through the plot control design-time property editor
on the Control->Translation tab.
Note: <TRN> is nothing special, just a marker to let you know you need to
translate the string. It should be removed.
Machine Generated
Note: All of the currently available translations were made using
a machine translation program. Please understand that we do not have a detailed
understanding of non-English languages, so the translations will probably be incorrect,
if not amusing to read!
User Submitted
Note: We appreciate any translations files that users submit back
to us. We will post these translations here with anonymously or with credit for
other customers to download and use. To save the translations to a file, open the plot control property
editor at design-time, go to the Control->Translation tab, then click the Save
button.
