New in Web File Transfer 5.0 (Aug 24, 2010)
- In this release of web file transfer we have incorporated the technology to allow for multiple languages to be supported as well the ability to be able to change the text on screens as well as e-mail messages. The web pages that are related to administrative functions have not yet been converted to any other languages however the pages that typical users utilize have samples of conversion to French and German included in the download. Please note that the conversions to French and German are samples only and may need to be refined for actual use in these locales. In the event that you want to convert the web pages for administrative functions to another language you can follow the methodology already in place for the non administrative functions.
- The method by which Web File Transfer will display screen contents in a particular language is determined by utilizing the preferred language setting in your Browser.
- The implementation of multiple languages in our web file server was accomplished by utilizing the standard tools available in ASP.NET 3.5 thus resulting in all translations being done using XML files. These XML files are located in the folders that closely correspond to the folder structure of our product as well as the name of the actual web pages. The following folders are where the XML translation files exist.
- /App_GlobalResources
- /App_LocallResources
- /ftpappl/App_LocallResources
- /ftpappl/help
- The naming convention followed within these folders utilizes the abbreviation for each locale used with the default being English if no specific locale is found. For example the following is the names of the files used for translation of the web page login.aspx.
- /App_LocallResources/login.aspx.resx is the default which is English.
- /App_LocallResources/login.aspx.DE.resx is for German Translation.
- /App_LocallResources/login.aspx.FR.resx is for French Translation.
- /App_GlobalResources
- The XML files in this folder are not used by specific web pages but are used throughout the application for the following.
- Menu text displayed.
- Messages and warnings on various web pages.
- E-Mail messages sent.
- /App_LocallResources
- The XML files in this folder are specific to web pages used in the application at this level in the folder. If you want alter the labels of text fields and the associated ToolTip displayed when a mouse is above a field then this is where you would alter the text.
- /ftpappl/App_LocallResources
- The XML files in this folder are specific to web pages used in the application at this level in the folder. If you want alter the labels of text fields and the associated ToolTip displayed when a mouse is above a field then this is where you would alter the text.
- /ftpappl/help
- The HTM files in this folder are used as Help Files for all pages within the application. As with the XML files used for other purposes the naming convention of the files follows a locale specific naming convention with English being the default if no other is found. For example.
- /ftpappl/help/Upload.htm is the default which is English.
- /ftpappl/help/Upload.de.htm is for German Translation.
- /ftpappl/help/Upload.fr.htm is for French Translation.
- The structure of the XML files that contain the translations is similar to a spreadsheet that has two columns. The first column is called Name and the second is called Value. The Name column contains the key value that the application looks for when doing a translation and the Value column contains that actual translation that is used within the application. When manipulating these files do not change the contents of the Name column but rather only the Value column.
- If you want to disable the sample conversions provided you can either delete the locale specific XML files or rename it to a value that is not used as a locale. For example to disable the sample German translations rename the files with the name *.DE.resx to *.ZDE.resx.
