DGS Multilingual

Description

• 1. DGS has a built-in multilingul (multi-languae) system.
• 2. Multilingul allows dynamic language changing and prevents non-essential GUI recreating or text reset by code.
• 3. DGS Multilingul system will specify the structure of Translation Table (Dictionary).

Usage 1

• 0. Don't forget to import DGS Head or use export.dgs:.
• 1. A Translation Table (Dictionary) should be specified:

Dict = {
	TestText1="Welcome To DGS",
}

• 2. And, send the dictionary into DGS:

dgsSetTranslationTable("testDict",Dict) --Name,Dictionary.

• 3. Now, DGS knows that dictionary, we need to tell DGS we want to use it:

dgsSetAttachTranslation("testDict") --This is global setting to one resource

• 3. Create a label:

label = dgsCreateLabel (0.51, 0.54, 0.16, 0.14, {"TestText"}, true )

Usage 2

• 0. Don't forget to import DGS Head or use export.dgs:.
• 1. A Translation Table (Dictionary) should be specified:

Dict = {
	TestText1="Welcome To DGS",
}

• 2. And, send the dictionary into DGS:

dgsSetTranslationTable("testDict",Dict) --Name,Dictionary.

• 3. Now, DGS knows that dictionary, we can create a label and attach its text to the dictionary:

label = dgsCreateLabel (0.51, 0.54, 0.16, 0.14, {"TestText"}, true )
dgsAttachToTranslation(label,"testDict") --Only attach one element to the dictionary.

Or you can also do:

label = dgsCreateLabel (0.51, 0.54, 0.16, 0.14, "", true )
dgsAttachToTranslation(label,"testDict") --Only attach one element to the dictionary.
dgsSetText(label,{"TestText"})

Usage 3

• 0. Don't forget to import DGS Head or use export.dgs:.
• 1. A Translation Table (Dictionary) should be specified. And here we have an extra %rep% that takes the place of parameter:

Dict = {
	TestText1="Welcome To %rep%",
	TestText2="Welcome To %rep% %rep%",
}

• 2. And, send the dictionary into DGS:

dgsSetTranslationTable("testDict",Dict) --Name,Dictionary.

• 3. Now, DGS knows that dictionary, tell DGS we want to use it:

dgsSetAttachTranslation("testDict")

• 4. Create a label, pass "DGS" as the argument

label1 = dgsCreateLabel (0.51, 0.54, 0.16, 0.14, {"TestText1","DGS"}, true )
label2 = dgsCreateLabel (0.51, 0.64, 0.16, 0.14, {"TestText2","DGS",":D"}, true )  -- 2 parameters.
label3 = dgsCreateLabel (0.51, 0.74, 0.16, 0.14, {"TestText2","DGS"}, true )  -- the rest unused '''%rep%''' will be deleted.

Usage 4

• 0. Don't forget to import DGS Head or use export.dgs:.
• 1. A Translation Table (Dictionary) should be specified. And DGS parameter support 2nd level translation:

Dict = {
	TestText1="Welcome To %rep%. Have a good time %rep%",
	Smile=":)",
}

• 2. And, send the dictionary into DGS:

dgsSetTranslationTable("testDict",Dict) --Name,Dictionary.

• 3. Now, DGS knows that dictionary, tell DGS we want to use it:

dgsSetAttachTranslation("testDict")

• 4. Create a label, and use 2nd translation:

label = dgsCreateLabel (0.51, 0.54, 0.16, 0.14, {"TestText1","DGS", {"Smile"}}, true )
