Multiple Language Applications

CSPro supports the creation of applications that target multiple languages. The main areas where you can customize text include:
  • Question text: In a data entry application, the question text for each field can be defined in multiple languages.
  • Dictionary labels: Dictionary labels can be specified in multiple languages. When a field's screen text is linked to the dictionary item, then the form text will also change when a data entry application's language changes.
  • Messages: Messages displayed or created using functions such as errmsg and maketext can be defined in multiple languages.
  • Logic string literals: Using the tr function, string literals can be be specified in multiple languages.
In addition to the above functionality, there are several logic functions for working with multiple language applications, including getlanguage, setlanguage, and OnChangeLanguage.
The default starting language can also be specified in the application's PFF file using the Language parameter.
