[izpack-users] Re : Tr : Localizing shortcuts

[Bartz, Klaus]

Hi Loic,
then we are on the same side of the river :-)
English is also not my native language. May be about that I take words
more on an assay-balance as others. Sorry.
 
Cheers
 
Klaus

	Hi Klaus,
	
	Thank you for your reply.
	Sorry for not updating the documentation. I will as soon as I can and post the patch.
	
	From your mail I understand that you took my mail as a personal blame.
	I am sorry for that, as it was everything but meant to be a blame for anyone.
	IzPack is a great product. I use it, I like it a lot, I recommend it to other people. When I need something that's not in, I'll happily add it myself if I can get time (and be allowed by my boss) to do it.
	
	From your writing I understand that I wrote "shame" where I should probably have put "pity" or some other word that would mean that I think this would be a great thing, as everything is localizable everywhere in izPack, but the shortcuts. Sorry for the language slip. As you may know, English isn't my native language, so I sometimes pick up words that aren't those which best reflect my feelings. Sorry for that.
	
	I hope you'll understand I never meant to hurt you or anyone else, and tyhat I wasn't blaming izPack and its team in any way.
	
	Thank you for your understanding.
	
	Loïc

	Hi Loic,
	thank you for creating a patch for a new feature for IzPack. Sorry that we have
	forgotten to write explicitly, that this feature do not exist for ShortCuts.
	Unfortunately I see no patches for the docu which has also to be addapted. 
	Please review the converned IzPack documentation and send us a secound patch, 
	if you like it. 
	Documentation is a big problem in IzPack. From time to time an IzPack user
	developes a new nice, cool feature for IzPack and send us the patch, but about the docu we
	have to run after or made it self for a feature we self do not need.
	Therefore: no docu, no patch.
	 
	I am a little bit sensitive if some one verbalize a feature request as blame.
	If you really mean, that if you use IzPack, you have to shame, do not use IzPack. Else
	take your one, two or three thousend Euro and by a "professional" tool. There 
	you cannot made a patch (there you have no sources and no build file for the engine), but 
	sometimes they have a vote list where you can write into your feature request and hope, that
	they implement it some year later. Or do you really mean these tools contains all thinks you
	need and much more?
	 
	Cheers
	 
	Klaus

		Hello,
		
		I'll answer my own question posted yesterday to the izPack-users lists, which is reproduced below.
		As a matter of fact, I found out that the answer is "no, shortcuts aren't localizable". Which is a shame.
		
		Since I badly need that, I went through the code from SVN and set up a patch, which you will find attached.
		
		What it does is :
		

		*	Search for a os-specific, language specific spec file (like Unix_shortcutSpec.xml_eng) 
		*	If not found, search for a language specific (but OS-independent) spec (like shortcutSpec.xml_eng) 
		*	If still not found, revert to the processing before the patch (OS-specific, and if not found, generic spec file)
			

		Please review it and merge it into SVN if you like it.
		I'd love to have a patched standalone-compiler.jar in izPack's next release.
		
		Thank you,
		
		Loïc

		Hello,
		
		I am using ant and IzPack standalone compiler version 3.10.1
		I have the following in my izPack XML install file :
		
		    <locale>
		        <langpack iso3="fra"/>
		        <langpack iso3="eng"/>
		    </locale>
		    <resources>
		        <res src="FRLicence.txt" id="LicencePanel.licence_fra"/>
		        <res src="ENGLicence.txt" id="LicencePanel.licence_eng"/>
		        <res src="FRInfo.txt" id="InfoPanel.info_fra" />
		        <res src="ENInfo.txt" id="InfoPanel.info_eng" />
		        <res src="packsLang.xml_fra" id="packsLang.xml_fra"/>
		        <res src="packsLang.xml_eng" id="packsLang.xml_eng"/>
		        <res src="shortcutSpec.xml" id="shortcutSpec.xml" os="windows"/>
		        <res src="unix_shortcutSpec.xml" id="Unix_shortcutSpec.xml" os="linux"/>
		        <res src="processpanelSpec-en.xml" id="ProcessPanel.Spec.xml_eng"/>
		        <res src="processpanelSpec-fr.xml" id="ProcessPanel.Spec.xml_fra"/>
		    </resources>
		
		My problem is : I can't get IzPack to use an "english language shortcuts" file (my default files, as above, contain shortcuts descriptions and captions in french). I have tried adding these :
		
		        <res src="shortcutSpec-en.xml" id="shortcutSpec.xml_eng" os="windows"/>
		        <res src="unix_shortcutSpec-en.xml" id="Unix_shortcutSpec.xml_eng" os="linux"/>
		
		but it didn't seem to have any effect.
		
		LicencePanel localization works.
		InfoPanel localization works.
		Packs localization works.
		ProcessPanel localization works, too.
		
		But shortcuts just don't. My shortcuts are still created with french captions, while everything else is in english.
		
		Is it possible to localize shortcuts text, and if yes, how ?
		
		Thanks,
		
		Loïc
