ExportDefaultText is a JumpStart Utility Template that puts at least 98% or more of the default text in the BTL Translation File for BoTran to use at runtime.
Use the default name supplied by the template "%Application.BTL" or choose your own. If you are using multi-dll apps, then remember to run the JumpStart utility on each app, and always point it at the same BTL file<g>.
This gathers all the text from the app, window titles, prompts, etc, plus adds the errors and dialogs, etc if you select that option. BoTran then creates the file if it doesn't exist, or appends the default text if it already exists. The BTL file is not case sensitive, so each entry is unique, no duplicates will be saved. BoTran always does a CLIP(LEFT('MyText')) so it ignores extra blank spaces.
You can run BoTran Jumpstart as often as you make changes to text in your app, and it only adds any new strings it finds. It will not harm any existing strings in your language files.
Options have been added to Limit to 1 procedure, and Export only minimal Window text if those are the only changes you made, or want to translate, etc.
BoTran also creates a matching "%Application.bts" substitution file that eliminates the needs for all those darn TRN and ENV files.<vbg> |
