Since the Transaction Engine includes internationalization support, this menu of the Developer Toolbox Control Panel enables the user to change the language resource file of the currently active site:
To set the dialog box options:
1 In the Select site language drop-down menu select the current site language from available languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish.
2 The three buttons on the right of the interface offer you the next functionalities:
Click OK when you are done configuring the dialog box.
Click Cancel to exit without changing the date formats settings.
The Help button takes you to this help page.
When switching the language for your site, only the following elements will change:
General and field error messages – the error messages displayed on top of the page, as well as those that are displayed next to each field.
Validation hints (the text that is displayed next to a filed that has a validation rule applied)
Note: When performing an update of Developer Toolbox, the resources files will not be overwritten. If you are missing newly added resources, and do not have any important customizations made (eg. custom error messages), the easiest way to update these files is to switch the site language from your current one to another (eg. from English to French- which will overwrite the existing English resources with the new, but French ones), and another switch back to the original (eg. from French back to English). The new resources will be copied onto your site’s resources folder.
Note: If you want to translate Developer Toolbox messages into your language, you will have to edit the files that are located in your site folder, in includes/resources. Each of the files contains the string messages used by Developer Toolbox components (eg. the tng.res.php file contains the messages used by the transaction engine, while wdg.res.php contains the error messages for the Forms Controls module). Make sure that the language you need doesn’t already exist before starting work.
