[izpack-users] Re : Tr : Localizing shortcuts

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

Subject: [izpack-users] Tr : 
  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

  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
