rskibbe.I18n.Ini 1.0.4

Description

A package with default Ini implementations for rskibbe.I18n.

Getting started

If you followed the steps from the base package, you are ready to provide your custom translations. For this, you need to create a specific folder structure, as this package works with Ini files.

Creating the folder structure

Inside your output directory (where the finished exe resides, like bin/debug..), create this folder structure.

• bin
  • debug
    • i18n
      • ini
        • languages.ini
        • en-US_English.ini
        • de-DE_Deutsch.ini

languages.ini

This file represents/contains all available languages for your application - remember, in Ini format. Matching example contents to the example from above could look like this:

[English]
Iso=en-US
Name=English

[Deutsch]
Iso=de-DE
Name=Deutsch

I specified the german and english language over here. Each one with a name and an iso "property". The section header content doesn't really matter - more or less. Empty lines get ignored.

Translation files

Next, we will take a look at the translation files like "en-US_English.ini" from above. As you can see, you need to first mention the iso code (should correspond to your language file of course!). Then you just append an underscore with the specific language name.

The corresponding files from above would look like this:

Simple

en-US_English.ini

[en-US_English]
key1=Actions
greeting=Hello!

de-DE_Deutsch.ini

[de-DE_Deutsch]
key1=Aktionen
greeting=Hallo!

The section headers get ignored, but I think it feels right to provide them anyways, because this is just how a normal Ini would look like, right? But feel free to omit them. The corresponding translation key would be "key1", which would result in "Actions" or "Aktionen" depending on the language.

Take a look at the base package for more information.
