Language question

[Daniel Drijard]

I wonder how some language questions are solved, pure ignorance from my part.

I can execute an APPLE program defined in a language, possibly defined by its preferences, say English, and create a .txt or .pdf (or other) file using a different language such as, say French. Then I save the file locally, for safety, and transfer it to a friend's computer.
How does his computer, external to mine, handles the program version I used (English) and the version of my file (French) ?

I use an iMac under Sierra (OSX 10.12.6).

Cordially,
Daniel

A PROGRAM can be “localized”. This will, for example, give your program correct menu items and correct text in your windows and dialogs (though, for the most part, YOU have to define those other language words). For the standard menu items, I think that the OS will supply those for you. Localization is nothing more than a lookup table for your program text.

FILES, on the other hand, are up to the program creator. Localization does not translate files.

If you want to localize a Xojo application, get a look here:

 

http://developer.xojo.com/lingua

 

Do not read that if you only want to know an OS arcanes for applicatons translations.
