I knew you would have something.

I apologize for bothering you with this, but I think you will be able to answer quickly whereas I would take a long time putting the pieces together. We have used TsiLang to do an English & French version of our program. Now we need to add Chinese. We are using Delphi 7 with DevEx components (ve...

Our current globalized product uses tsiLang v6.0.3 :oops: We are now needing to globalize a newer version of our product that makes almost exclusive use of DevEx components including grids, trees, ribbons and such. With tsiLang v6.0.3 some DevEx component captions were 'invisible' (buried under Prop...

This is on line 7999 in the 16-Nov-2006 version of siComp.

How often would this be called? It looks, maybe, like only on a Change Language event.

Yah, I know it's not a TsiLang problem. Let me just confirm a couple of things. My already created form is dmInternational. I will need to manually copy the strings from the TfrmViewer siLang component properties to the dmInternational.siLang component properties and assign it an IDS_xxx ID unique w...

When would I make the change to specify the already created form?

In diagnosing the problem with needing to call my global TsiLang.GetText and the local TsiLang.GetText in the same unit, I used the TsiLang Expert, File | Clear Translation option. Now, however, all the strings are gone. The File | Source | With Form... option says everything is ok. How do I get the...

Hoo boy, we have gotten too tricky. The situation is this: unit interface type TfrmViewer = class(ancestor viewer with TsiLang component) public class function ShowItems (formCaption: String): Boolean; end; function ShowItems1: boolean; function ShowItems2: boolean; implementation function ShowItems...

And one more:
When I read back the project SIL file it seems to overwrite translations I have made in the code using TsiLang Expert (design time) with blanks from the SIL file. Am I observing the behavior correctly and if so, can it be flagged to only read in non-blank entries?

Thanks again

Some questions and observations about working with SIL files: File | Save/Load Translation | Save Project - the SIL file (Captions) contains blanks even though all my forms siLangLink components have AutoSkipEntries = True. What am I missing? File | Save/Load Translation | Save Project Properties cr...

We have placed both both the siLangDispatcher and siLang components in an otherwise empty data mod called dmInternational. It is auto-created before any other form. However, several of our non-visual units reference GetTextordefault and MessageDlg and they have initialization code sections. This com...

I just discovered that I had project Options set to compile without any run time packages. I added the D7r.bpl to the list and now the exe is down to less than 8 mbyte.

Splendid - actually it was mis-named in the project source.

I have one form that gives the above error when attempting to use the Wizard. The beginning of the file is: unit StopsReportOptions; interface uses Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs, StdCtrls, Buttons, MiscUtils; type TfrmStopsReportOptions = class(TF...

The following line of Delphi code is not recognized as needing a GetTextorDefault: self.OrdCustomerAddress2.Hint:= 'Bill to: '#13+dmOrder.OrdCustomerAddrBlock.AsString + tern(AppSettings.Admin.Misc.ShowMapIt,#13'Click to locate address on internet',''); Tern (bool,string,string) is a function return...
