!Trynth adapts automatically to the configured language if the corresponding
messages etc. are available. For this purpose a Resources directory is
contained in the application in which a subdirectory for each language
supported resides. If the language you need isn't in there, please feel free
to duplicate any of these language directories and translate the contents.
When you run the program a utility called ResFind is called which reads the
language your computer is configured to and then looks for the corresponding
language directory. If this fails the program will run in English (UK). By
setting several system variables (best done in your system's !Boot file) you
can change the language looked for. With this you can make sure a program
runs in a certain language, e.g. to avoid a weird translation. Furthermore
it is possible to name several languages you prefer to English. This is
controlled by three system variables: Trynth$Language, ResFind$LanguagesPref
und ResFind$Languages$Suff. When running the application ResFind looks for
the first language supported along the following list of languages:
1. Contents of the variable Trynth$Language
2. Contens of the variable ResFind$LanguagesPref
3. The configured language
4. Contens of the variable ResFind$LanguagesSuff
5. UK
Take a Norwegian user for example (lots of great programs come from there)
whose computer is configured to 'Norway'. Since this language isn't too
common in Europe most programs won't support it - except for Norwegian ones.
But our user is pretty good in German and French but not too fond of
English. Therefore he prefers these languages to UK and would thus put the
following line in his system's !Boot file:
*Set ResFind$LanguagesSuff Germany,France
Running an applications (such as this one) using ResFind the list of
languages looked for is 'Norway,Germany,France,UK'. In case this user hat an
application calles !Pete supporting the languate 'Humorous' the line
*Set Pete$Language Humor
in the !Boot file makes sure !Pete will run humorous.
