VFR Sample
IFR Translation
subtitle text = BANANA_STRING; Subtitle Op-Code, 3
This example shows a sample of the type of encoding that happens between
IFR and the string tokens. When a user chooses to display a particular language
it has no effect on the IFR encoding. The infrastructure simply pulls the same
token from a different string section.
ENG
Token 1 “Hello World”
Token 2 “Goodbye World”
Token 3 “I love bananas”
SPA
Token 1 “Hola Mundo”
Token 2 “Adios Mundo”
Token 3 “Yo amo plátanos”
System is in
Spanish mode.
GER
Token 1 “Hallo Welt”
Token 2 “Auf Wiedersehen Welt”
Token 3 “Ich liebe Bananen”
Yo amo plátanos
2.3 How multiple language support is handled
When providing support for multiple setup programs, the varying language support for each program
must be taken in consideration. For instance, if there are three drivers that have exported data to the HII
database, each of them with different language string support, a “Home Page” will be created when the
Configuration Driver is launched. This Configuration Driver will show as its initial page all the drivers
which have exported configuration data and strings.
The order of what is displayed on the initial page is determined by language priority. If a driver
contains strings for the system’s default language setting (determined by the Lang global variable) the
translated name of that driver will be shown at the top of the list. Immediately after that list will be a
list of the drivers in their translated forms. The intention for this is to provide a simple mechanism for a
user to scroll up and down a list of drivers and pick the appropriate driver for their use. Whichever
language choice is made by the user, the language choice made at the initial page will carry forward to
the rest of the pages and strings displayed under the initial page.
