the lng files</FONT></FONT></P>
<P><BR><BR>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Verdana, sans-serif">Some content of the scp projects
has to be translated in the supported languages. This is important
for localized directory names, or text output of some basic scripts.
This translation happens with the help of the so called lng files,
which are automatically included into the translation process. These
files must have the same names as the scp files, in which the
translated string is needed, but its extensions are .lng. One example
shows this simple behaviour:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Verdana, sans-serif">Module
gid_Module_Prg_Calc_Bin<BR>MOD_NAME_DESC ( MODULE_PRG_CALC_BIN
);<BR>ParentID = gid_Module_Prg_Calc;<BR>Default = YES;<BR>Minimal =
YES;<BR>Files =
(gid_File_Exe_Scalc,gid_File_Lib_Calc,gid_File_Lib_Sc,gid_File_Res_Sc);<BR>End</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Verdana, sans-serif">As you can see, this is the
definition of a module block. In the user defined installation, there
is a user interface for selecting the modules. This cotains a name
and a description of each module. And of course these have to be
localized. In the module definition you see the line:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Verdana, sans-serif">MOD_NAME_DESC (
MODULE_PRG_CALC_BIN );</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Verdana, sans-serif">MOD_NAME_DESC is a macro defined
in macros.inc. There you find:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Verdana, sans-serif">#define MOD_NAME_DESC(id)
\<BR>ALL_LANG(Name,STR_NAME_##id);
\<BR>ALL_LANG(Description,STR_DESC_##id)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Verdana, sans-serif">Therefore this can be resolved to
the two macros: </FONT>
</P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><FONT FACE="Verdana, sans-serif">ALL_LANG(Name,STR_NAME_
MODULE_PRG_CALC_BIN )<BR>ALL_LANG(Description,STR_DESC_
MODULE_PRG_CALC_BIN )</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Verdana, sans-serif"><BR>And ALL_LANG is also defined
in macros.inc, but this is not important yet. Important are the two
strings STR_NAME_ MODULE_PRG_CALC_BIN and STR_DESC_
MODULE_PRG_CALC_BIN, which exist in the scp file, in which the module
gid_Module_Prg_Calc_Bin is defined. For this file xyz.scp there has
to be also a files xyz.lng. The filenames have to be identical,
without the extensions. Therefore in the lng file, we find the
following two entries:</FONT></P>
