In our browser we have
selected French and Spanish as
additional languages. Aussie is
our default at present.
|
|
|
Notice the names ‘Leave
Request’ and ‘Submit a Leave
Request’ in the Blank Forms list.
|
|
|
And the form has the default
captions.
|
|
|
|
When submitted, the To Do list looks like this. Note the Subject,
Stage and message.
|
|
|
And it looks like this when
opening the form itself. Notice
the Form names at the top, and
the Action names at the
bottom.
|
|
|
The History grid is not working
for us, however.
It seems that the view supplied
by Metastorm does NOT show
the default captions if no valid
language is passed in. That is
something that will have to be
fixed for it to be useful.
|
|
|
Now we change or default
language to French.
|
|
|
|
Notice the icons, top bar and column captions have changed.
These are supplied in a few languages by default. I assume you
can create your own quite easily for other languages, or to
change what is displayed.
Notice, however, that the Stage is still the same. This seems
odd, as I would have expected that to be dynamic. The message
and Subject I can see are calculated, but the Stage is fully under
the system’s control, so could easily be looked up at run-time.
Having said that, performance may be an issue.
|
|
|
And when we open the form,
the captions, and indeed field
positions, have been changed
to the French ones I entered.
|
|
|
And now the history works as
I’d like. The action I performed
in English is shown in French
now, as is the Stage. The
message is obviously not.
Notice however, that the grid
caption I changed IS in French,
as we would expect, despite
the Designer not showing it.
|
|
|
The Blank Forms list has
changed too.
|
|
|
And filling a form it is as you
expect, in French.
|
|
|
Even the calendar control is in
French.
|
|
|
Although, obviously, the
options are the English ones I
set as default. More on that
later.
|
|
|
|
On submitting the form, the alert list for this Folder is all in
French as well.
|
|
|
|
And the history is as well, being dynamic.
Notice the Form names are now in French, as are the Action
names.
|
|
|
Now we change to Spanish.
|
|
|
You can see the Blank Forms
list is now in Spanish …
|
|
|
… as is the form.
|
|
|
|
The Alert list is was before – each action in the language it was
performed in.
|
|
|
And the History of all Folders is
now in Spanish, regardless of
the language performed in.
