For those who prefer the ribbon user interfaces (PELOOK 4), a tab has been added.

 

I had included two xml files, one English, one French. Because I do not know how to localise.

I tried po and mo files at various location with BINDTEXTDOMAIN, but that did not work.

Can anyone help?

    Drafting version 20.x

     

    I have created a module (name 'KE Tools') which consists in a macro file 'KE Tools.m', two xml files defining a new tab on the ribbon 'KE Tools en.xml' and 'KE Tools fr.xml' (the first for English texts for the panels in the tab, the second for French texts), and a module logo 'KE Tools.png'.

     

    To register the module in the English version, one must type:

    REGISTER_MODULE 'KE Tools' 'KE Tools.png' 'KE Tools en.xml' 'ORANGE' END

    To register the module in the French version, one must type:

    REGISTER_MODULE 'KE Tools' 'KE Tools.png' 'KE Tools fr.xml' 'ORANGE' END

    That is not practical.

    I would like to know if there is a means similar to the Drafting function BINDTEXTDOMAIN which loads automatically the po file located in the directory ...\locale\en\LC_MESSAGES or in ...\locale\fr\LC_MESSAGES according to the current language.

    BINDTEXTDOMAIN allows to change the current language with the function CHANGE_LOCALE: CHANGE_LOCALE 'en' or CHANGE_LOCALE 'fr' as well.

     

    When using the function CHANGE_LOCALE, the language is changed for all the messages and interface elements of the Drafting base, but not for my module.
