A Localization Configuration Editor for LabVIEW

Hi Michael.  LabVIEW went to year distributions in 2009.  So are you talking about LV 2009?  The DevZone posted library can be used with LV8.6 and greater, but you must install the LV RTE 2009 to run the editor.  If you wish to use the source code you must use LV 2009 or later.

Hi Brian,

I'm not Michael, but I'm assuming you meant me. I have Labview 8.6 to Labview 2013. I'm mostly working with 2012, updating our internal vi package to handle localization.

I have been working on a solution, but decided to look around and see if a solution was already in place. The S.E.A. toolkit is out of our price range for our current needs.

Sorry Rick,

 

I got lost in the thread and was replying to the wrong post.  So the way you use the LCE is in two parts.  First the editor.  All the editor does is organize resources and translations.  A resource might be your caption, like Caption1.  A resource does not need to be tied to the translation, but it makes sense most the time.  Then you add your translations for that resource based on how many languages you have.  In the end you will have a bunch of resources and their translations.  When you want to use that you go to you application use the LocalizationRepo.lvclass:Open.vi, then use the LookupResource VI to pull out your translation strings.  What you do with those strings is up to you.  So if you want to change a caption you use the property node to change it.

 

My hope is that in the future I can make the tool do some cool things to help developers more quickly have translated programs.  In particular is the "Load from VI" feature.  This would make it so the Editor would pull in a bunch of resources like Captions, free text, Label, etc. automatically so that you don't have to manual type that stuff in.  By I can't work on it right now. So just create freeform resources.

Hello Brian,

 

What happend to further development of the Localization Configuration Editor?

 

In this thread I saw a posted beta in 2012, but the published version (http://www.ni.com/example/31257/en/)  is an old version?

 

I am looking for a solution, but do not want to waste time on the toolkit if the project has been abandoned before it was finihed...

I work on it when I have time.  Here is a preview of where it stands.  A lot of the features work including export and import.  There is an exe in the build directory if you are interested in looking at what the final might look like.  The source requires that package I included.  I still can't promise a release, but you can evaluate it it is good enough for you.

Hi,

   I wonder how to use LCE in latest LV, such as 2014. I tried the installer on http://www.ni.com/example/31257/en/ and also the files in previous posts, but I didn't succeed in using it.

Hi Brian,

 

       Thank you very much for you paying attention on this.  This application were created by my precious colleague, currently is not working here. The project should be very old , but in the last a few years added the LCE function.   Currently I need to update this project and add two boolean variance on the screen.I opened the project under Labview 2011 as it has LCE in this version. All seems work OK except the value is not updated. I traced the function and then get Error 1320 when the new two variance was in LCE_Get Resource Value and Update Ref.
