How to get the translated window caption "Window List"?

 

[Marco Kalter]

The translation function in the Plug-In API are for translating the Plug-In, it won't allow you to translate the PL/SQL Developer application.

If you want to translate the application, email me and we can let you use the translation tools.

My plugin is looking for a some window by class name and caption. How can I find window (ex. 'Window list' by Russian). I should know the window caption in Russian. How to get this caption?

 

[Marco Kalter]

The "window list" and other dockable tools are not normal windows. Which function do you use to find it, and what do you want to do with it?

 

[Starina]

I need the following function

When set English.lang:

vitem := IDE_SomeFunction('Window list');

vitem is 'Window list'.

When set Russion.lang:

vitem := IDE_SomeFunction('Window list');

vitem is ''.

 

[Marco Kalter]

This is currently not possible, but we will add a function for this in the upcoming version 14.0.

One more question

How to use the following functions?
IDE_TranslateItems
IDE_TranslateString

 

[Marco Kalter]

These function are for translating your Plug-In. We first need definitions for strings in your Plug-In, and these will be translated by our translators. After that you can use these functions to get translated items for the language the user selected.
