I have two SIL files from 2 separate projects that I want to merge together. I use this command line: "sileditor.exe" -morig "C:\dev\file1.sil" -mnew "C:\dev\file2.sil" -mlang all -msuperfl The elements from file2.sil all end up in file1.sil as I would expect, but they ...

From what I can tell, that is exactly the same as: procedure TForm1.TntButton1Click(Sender: TObject); var FIntf: Variant; begin FIntf := CreateOleObject('SILEditor.SilEditorIntf'); try FIntf.EditFile(Edit1.Text, 'Captions', False); FIntf.ExportTo(Edit2.Text, etSIB); finally FIntf := UnAssigned; end;...

OK thanks. I re-read your post after I posted, and realised that is probably what you meant. Unfortunately, I can't seem to export from a SIB file at all. The code I gave above for exporting a SIL file to a SIB file works fine every time. In fact, exporting from a SIL file to any other format works ...

Hi. Do you mean like this: FIntf := CreateOleObject('SILEditor.SilEditorIntf'); try FIntf.EditFile(SIBFILENAME, 'Captions', False); FIntf.ExportTo(SILFILENAME, etTsiLang); finally FIntf := UnAssigned; end; because this produces a compiler error: undeclared identifier 'etTsiLang' Which is what I get ...

Using automation I can export a SIL file to a SIB file: FIntf := CreateOleObject('SILEditor.SilEditorIntf'); try FIntf.EditFile(SILFILENAME, 'Captions', False); FIntf.ExportTo(SIBFILENAME, etSIB); finally FIntf := UnAssigned; end; Can a SIB file be exported to an SIL file using automation? In the SI...

OK, thanks.

Surprising though, didn't think I'd be the only one expecting/hoping that the translation would translate any part of a caption, not just whole word captions.

Igor,

Thanks for letting me know. Is there any way to handle this, other than opening the SIL file in code and performing my own partial match StringReplace?

I have set up a very simple dictionary using the TsiLang Dictionary Manager. It has 2 languages ("Standard" and "Custom") and only about 6 entries. The first of these is: Standard Custom ======== ======== Department Division In the Files Editor, I open the dictionary, select Capt...

Was anything ever done about this? We don't use inherited forms and I also want to have DataField excluded from all form translations (over 80 forms). The only way I can currently see is to go into each form and choose the Exclude... option and find DataField to add to the Exclude list. Is there no ...

Thanks, Igor, for the prompt reply.

Is there a command line to load and save, for example to load a SIL file and save a SIB file? Or should I use the COM interface of the SIL Editor to do this?

Regards,
Jason.

Where can we get a list of all of the command line parameters supported by the SIL Editor and Dictionary Manager?

It is working well now, thank you for your time.

Yes that has made a difference. The SIL file is now updated. However, it has not actually performed any translation. If I use the Auto-Translate feature of the SIL Files Editor, I get the options: Case sensitive search Skip & when searching Overwrite existing items Is there any way these can be ...

I will send you my files via email then and see if there is a problem with my files rather than the translator. Thanks.

Yes I already tried that before I posted, made no difference.
