Multiple Languages

enaio® 9.10 »

ANSI installations of enaio® were approved and released to be used only on Windows operating systems using the Windows-1252 (Western European) code page. The Windows-1252 codepage does not contain certain characters, e.g., from the Polish or Hungarian alphabet. If you need such languages, please use an enaio® Unicode installation or contact us before you start your project.

The labels of archive object types, dialog elements, and the tooltips can be specified in multiple languages by way of language versions. The length of the labels is still restricted to 30 characters for object types and 240 characters for dialog elements.

When configuring add-ons that have references to other dialog elements or object types, you will need to use internal names so that these add-ons will also function in other languages.

If you set up a different language, other users of enaio® client can select this language. The names for archive object types, dialog elements, and tooltips are then displayed accordingly.

Language settings have no effect on indexing.

The graphic properties of the forms and fields are the same in all languages; please note, however, the different lengths of names when laying out the forms.

Setting up Languages

An object definition is always created in the default language 'German'.

From the workspace you can add and remove languages:

  • Select Languages in the workspace.
  • Select Add / remove languages from the context menu (menu key).

The following dialog will be opened:

  • Select an available language and then use the arrow keys to assign the object definition to the languages.
  • Confirm by pressing OK.

The added language will be displayed on the workspace.

  • Save the object definition.

Once you have added the language, all fields for labels and tooltips will be added to the tree structure as a new field in the properties dialog. There you can edit the names of the language versions.

For the dialog element 'table' a column is displayed for each added language.

In the context menu of a form and the Form menu, you can select the language which will be used for the display.

If you delete a language, the language entries are permanently deleted when you save the object definition.
