Hi Klaus (& list),

As promised, attached are the patches for the documentation, related to my patch on shortcutspecs posted yesterday.
I am no expert in docbook so I updated both xml and html files. Maybe you'll want to use the xml file to regenereate the html one instead of patching it ?

Cheers,

Loïc
P.S. : switching this thread to izpack-devel as the patches seem to be best suited here than on izpack-users. Sorry for cross-posting the patch to both lists yesterday, but I felt I needed to close my question from the day before there.

Hi 
Loic,

then 
we are on the same side of the river :-)

English is also not my native language. May 
be about that I take words

more 
on an assay-balance as others. Sorry.

Cheers

Klaus

  Hi 
  Klaus,

Thank you for your reply.
Sorry for not updating the 
  documentation. I will as soon as I can and post the patch.

From your 
  mail I understand that you took my mail as a personal blame.
I am sorry for 
  that, as it was everything but meant to be a blame for anyone.
IzPack is a 
  great product. I use it, I like it a lot, I recommend it to other people. When 
  I need something that's not in, I'll happily add it myself if I can get time 
  (and be allowed by my boss) to do it.

From your writing I understand 
  that I wrote "shame" where I should probably have put "pity" or some other 
  word that would mean that I think this would be a great thing, as everything 
  is localizable everywhere in izPack, but the shortcuts. Sorry for the language 
  slip. As you may know, English isn't my native language, so I sometimes pick 
  up words that aren't those which best reflect my feelings. Sorry for 
  that.

I hope you'll understand I never meant to hurt you or anyone 
  else, and tyhat I wasn't blaming izPack and its team in any way.

Thank 
  you for your understanding.

Loïc

  Hi 
  Loic,

  thank you for creating a patch for a new feature for IzPack. Sorry that 
  we have

  forgotten to write explicitly, that this feature do not exist for 
  ShortCuts.

  Unfortunately I see no patches for the 
  docu which has also to be addapted. 

  Please review the converned IzPack 
  documentation and send us a secound patch, 

  if 
  you like it. 

  Documentation is a big problem in IzPack. From time to time an IzPack 
  user

  developes a new nice, cool feature for IzPack and send us the patch, 
  but about the docu we

  have 
  to run after or made it self for a feature we self do not 
  need.

  Therefore: no docu, no patch.

  I am 
  a little bit sensitive if some one verbalize a feature request as 
  blame.

  If 
  you really mean, that if you use IzPack, you have to shame, do not use IzPack. 
  Else

  take 
  your one, two or three thousend Euro and by a "professional" tool. There 

  you 
  cannot made a patch (there you have no sources and no build file for the 
  engine), but 

  sometimes they have a vote list where you can write into your 
  feature request and hope, that

  they 
  implement it some year later. Or do you really mean these tools contains all 
  thinks you

  need 
  and much more?

  Cheers

  Klaus

    Localizing shortcuts

    Hello,

I'll 
    answer my own question posted yesterday to the izPack-users lists, which is 
    reproduced below.
As a matter of fact, I found out that the answer is 
    "no, shortcuts aren't localizable". Which is a shame.

Since I badly 
    need that, I went through the code from SVN and set up a patch, which you 
    will find attached.

What it does is :

      Search for a os-specific, language specific spec file (like 
      Unix_shortcutSpec.xml_eng) 
      If not found, search for a language specific (but OS-independent) spec 
      (like shortcutSpec.xml_eng) 
      If still not found, revert to the processing before the patch 
      (OS-specific, and if not found, generic spec file)
Please 
    review it and merge it into SVN if you like it.
I'd love to have a 
    patched standalone-compiler.jar in izPack's next release.

Thank 
    you,

Loïc

Objet : Localizing shortcuts

    Hello,

I am using ant and IzPack standalone compiler version 
    3.10.1
I have the following in my izPack XML install file 
    :

    <locale>
        <langpack 
    iso3="fra"/>
        <langpack 
    iso3="eng"/>
    </locale>

    <resources>
        <res 
    src="FRLicence.txt" 
    id="LicencePanel.licence_fra"/>

    <res src="ENGLicence.txt" 
    id="LicencePanel.licence_eng"/>

    <res src="FRInfo.txt" id="InfoPanel.info_fra" 
    />
        <res src="ENInfo.txt" 
    id="InfoPanel.info_eng" />

    <res src="packsLang.xml_fra" 
    id="packsLang.xml_fra"/>

    <res src="packsLang.xml_eng" 
    id="packsLang.xml_eng"/>

    <res src="shortcutSpec.xml" id="shortcutSpec.xml" 
    os="windows"/>
        <res 
    src="unix_shortcutSpec.xml" id="Unix_shortcutSpec.xml" 
    os="linux"/>
        <res 
    src="processpanelSpec-en.xml" 
    id="ProcessPanel.Spec.xml_eng"/>

    <res src="processpanelSpec-fr.xml" 
    id="ProcessPanel.Spec.xml_fra"/>

    </resources>

My problem is : I can't get IzPack to use an 
    "english language shortcuts" file (my default files, as above, contain 
    shortcuts descriptions and captions in french). I have tried adding these 
    :

        <res 
    src="shortcutSpec-en.xml" id="shortcutSpec.xml_eng" 
    os="windows"/>
        <res 
    src="unix_shortcutSpec-en.xml" id="Unix_shortcutSpec.xml_eng" 
    os="linux"/>

but it didn't seem to have any 
    effect.

LicencePanel localization works.
InfoPanel localization 
    works.
Packs localization works.
ProcessPanel localization works, 
    too.

But shortcuts just don't. My shortcuts are still created with 
    french captions, while everything else is in english.

Is it possible 
    to localize shortcuts text, and if yes, how 
    ?

Thanks,

Loïc
