Multilingual Frameworks

When building filters and command handlers for use in multilingual environments, use exactly the same procedures as you would for any other Visual LANSA application.

The only difference between designing any multilingual Visual LANSA application and a Framework based Visual LANSA application is in the input of the multilingual Framework design details.

This input process mostly involves the captions used for the Framework, the applications, the business objects, the commands and any "Help About" details.

Specifying multilingual details for the Framework details is quite simple.  Assume that you have a Framework that was designed using language code ENG (English). You now want to translate the Framework details to language code FRA (French).

Start by ensuring that all languages that are to be used are defined within the Framework in the Web/RAMP Details tab:

If you add or remove languages, save the Framework before continuing.

Then you can either Use Multilingual Prompts or Type over the Captions.
