(RPG) Multi-language app

[Fabrice Geay]

hy,


I would like to create an app multi-languages ​​(eg French / English).
I know I am obliged to make a schema for a language.

Is it possible that the RPG program knows what default language is used by the iPad?

Is the captions for schema are customizable from RPG?

Hi,

I think you should check the documentation: http://www.longrangemobile.com/docs/LRP ... struct.htm.

This can be returned with the latest version RV11.

Thank you Pascal,

And for me second question have you got an idea.

hy,

I have updgrade my LongRange for use the ClientLanguage.
But the value of ClientLanguage is always '001-000-00' even if i change the default language (My iPad had a French Configuration) to English i have always '001-000-00'.

Could you run the shipped RPG demo?

Programming Examples -> Use Case Examples -> Mobile Device Details.

Then take a screen shot and post it to the forum?

Eg: I see this. The language code shows an “en” …..

This is shipped RPG example program LRNG_DEMO/SOURCEEXAM/EXAM0011.

Hi marck
if I understand correctly, the variable ClientLanguage found in the SystemInfo can not be read directly to determine the language used on the iPad.

In the EXAM0011, it uses a LRNG_GetSystemValues ​​with CURRENT-DEVICE-SYSTEM-LANGUAGE parameter.

This is what I need.
thank.

The SystemINFO documentation is incorrect.

There is no language field in the shipped data structure .........

Code: Select all

What RPG SystemINFO.xxxxxxxx variable name did you use in your original code?

We will amend the doco.

The reason for this change (which was done at the last minute) is that in theory the language can change while an App is active (eg: Italian and French speakers sharing a warehouse device). Not sure whether you would bother to accommodate this in an application though.

hi,

Actually, I only use the LRNGImagesPath in my code.
