[Tip] i18n localization example

by Bob Cusick
Servoy USA

This sample file demonstrates Servoy's ability to easily localize your solution. To see this example in another language - change the "Default Local" in the "Local" tab in the Preferences and RESTART Servoy. The languages that are supported in this solution are: English, Dutch (Nederlands [Nederland]), and Spanish (espanol).

Setting up localization in Servoy solutions is very easy, but it does require some planning. You need to think about where you use labels, static text, and quoted literals (in dialog messages, for example). You will also need a table to hold the localization information. The easiest way to create the table is to open Preferences and choose the "Locale" tab. Choose a server connection where you want the table to be created and then click the "Create" button. A table called "messages" will be created automatically.
