There are three ways to develop multilingual interfaces on the Windows platform.
1. Publish separate versions for each language (such as Microsoft Windows)
2. Includes executables that are not only a language resource, or a separate DLL file. (Such as Isobuster) This is also our most ways.
3. External language package executable. Like Netants, Flashget, Tweak-XP, PatchWise Free, etc. In support multiple languages (* .ini or * .lng) to replace DLL files when supporting multi-language. Since language packs can be dynamically modified, the recomparation of software is not necessary. Moreover, this is easy to change the language and maintain an independence of external language packs.
Here, let's take a look at the third method. Because it is the easiest, the simplest solution.
1. The first step is the most important. You must add files Langini.h and Langini.cpp in your project.
2. Then add variables in your C **** App class.
3. In your c **** dlg :: () function, initialize your button / text. Add the following code:
Void C **** DLG :: OnNitdialog (Void)
{
Setdlgitemtext (IDOK,
THEAPP.M_LANGINI.GETVALUE ("Button",
"Ok"));
Setdlgitemtext (IDCANCEL,
THEAPP.M_LANGINI.GETVALUE ("Button",
"Cancel"));
Setdlgitemtext (IDC_PROMPT,
THEAPP.M_LANGINI.GETVALUE ("Prompt",
"PROMPT"));
Setdlgitemtext (IDC_PROMPT_ENGLISH,
THEAPP.M_LANGINI.GETVALUE ("Prompt",
"Lang1")));
Setdlgitemtext (IDC_PROMPT_CHINESE,
THEAPP.M_LANGINI.GETVALUE ("Prompt",
"Lang2"));
}
4. Then, add a handle for the ON_BN_CLICKED event of the radio button:
Void Cuilangdlg :: OnBnclickedPRomptenglish ()
{
// Todo: Add Your Control Notification Handler
// Code Here
THEAPP.M_LANGINI.LOADFILE ("English.ini");
INITCONTROLS ();
}
Void Cuilangdlg :: OnBnclickedPromptChinese ()
{
// Todo: Add Your Control Notification Handler
// Code Here
THEAPP.M_LANGINI.LOADFILE ("chinese.ini");
INITCONTROLS ();
}
This completes the basic work. Then. What are the contents of the file in INI?
In the Ini file, you only need to enter the content you want to change according to your menu. As in the example, the program needs to take the value from the button, then we enter the content in the Button one. The contents of the Chinese.ini file in the example are as follows:
[Button]
OK = determined
Cancel = cancellation
[Prompt]
PROMPT = Select language
LANG1 = English
LANG2 = Chinese This is just an example of a dialog. For a software, INI files will not be very complicated. You need to enter the corresponding menu in the Notepad file. Generally, an application contains menus, and title, status bar, etc. Then you need to be as follows:
[Application]
Title = example
[Dialog]; dialog
About Title = About Example
LANG Title = Select language
Lang prompt = Please select a language
OK = determined
Cancel = cancellation
[File Menu]
1000 = & File
1001 = & new; change the content on the post menu
......
1001 = "Open file% new"; change the content of the language status bar,% new means the mapping toolbar
......
What is it, is it relatively simple. And this method has been used more and more software, we might want to try!
