in order to have multiple localized help files you only have to name them .h01, .h02, etc. in the system/help folder... the system will take care of displaying the right one depending on the phone language

Hello,

Can you tell me in detail what is PRC code. What does PRC stand for? and How to creat it? Has it related to Unicode for the font?

Thanks your help. Best regards,

Sochan.

hey this StringDB is a better approach i think,

i just used 3 functions, and multi-language system is done! using MS Excel is also a plus fo rme.

pew, now i see that those long struggles for multi-language applications was a waste of time.

just for the sake of a correct example: in german "How are you?" is "Wie geht es ihnen?" and "apples" is not Apfels, but "Ã„pfel"....

but i like the rest of the tutorial :-)

Hi Guys,

There is a simpler way to localize your software. It is called "StringDB". It is a binary resource file for strings that is generated directly from string tables in MS Excel sheets. It is simple to use and highly flexible for different platforms.

By using StringDB concept you don't need any other resource files for strings. No need to manipulate strings manually. And no need to recompile to change language package of the software.

You can find the trial software and documentation on the web site www.swbox.com.

Thanks :-) Actually I never had to deal with HLP files so I don't know how to do this. If someone has the answer and can write a short memo.....

Hi Eric, Very good article. But All the articles related to this subjects, ignores, HLP file creation for multiple languages. Can you please throw some light on this issue as how we can localize HLP files and add to the installer.

thanks

Hi,

I am trying to follow this article however, the resource file does not compile. I cannot even see any error, just that when I try to make the SIS package, it cannot find the .rsc file.

As soon as I remove localization code, the app works fine.

If anyone can help it would be great.

Thanks!

When I try to make the SIS file in Symbian 80, I get error ""Expected quoted string read ,". I have to remove the commas between language files, like this: "C:\Symbian\7.0s\S80_DP2_0_SDK\Epoc32\release\armi\urel\MDMNotifier.rsc" "C:\Symbian\7.0s\S80_DP2_0_SDK\Epoc32\release\armi\urel\MDMNotifier.r09" "C:\Symbian\7.0s\S80_DP2_0_SDK\Epoc32\release\armi\urel\MDMNotifier.r49" -"c:\system\apps\MDM\MDM.rsc"

When you set up an app this way, what language does it appear in when run on the Symbian emulator? Or does the emulator always use a default language? Thanks, Dan

Hi,

I couldn't add links to your articles as I did not know them before your post! I assume most similarities are due to the fact that we both inherits from the Language exemple found in the Nokia Series 60 SDKand AFAIK there aren't thousands of other methods to write multilingual applications in Symbian OS.

BTW what is the hypnodonkey ? ;)

Cheers, Eric

Hi Eric, It's pretty amazing that this article of your looks pretty much the same than mine, which I made few weeks ago. Although there is no links to my article anywhere and thats why I'm so amazed that this looks so much the same. Nice work though and very useful article to everybody who want to localize his/her app.

My two articles are in symbian.louhos.com/localization.php and symbian.louhos.com/resource.php

btw. This site has been very helpful!

Developing a multilingual application is rather simple with Symbian OS and this tutorial will show you to achieve this. Of course, it is always tempting to hardcode your strings. But with only a little effort you can have your application working in English and your native language...
