spanish localisation directory

[jayboduke]

Hi,

I am attempting to create 5 localized versions of my widget. English, French, Spanish, Italian and German.

I have created the relevant project directories in the root of my widget.

fr.lproj
es.lproj
de.lproj
it.lproj

Each directory contains a strings.js where i have placed my translations. With a string.js sat in the root, which holds the English version.

When I change the language of my phone, the correct languages are being picked up and the correct translations, all except for Spanish? I have tried both es and es-419, but when I set my phone to Spanish it simply defaults to teh english copy.

I am using this table as a guide to the directory : http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...sation_support

Thanks for any help

Hi jayboduke,

have you checked what is returned by the sysinfo.language property? (maybe it doesn't help, but it's worth a try)

PS: on which device/firmware are you getting this behavior?

Hi,

Im using Nokia 6210 Navigator. I'm not sure which version however. If I run this function though, It cant find the service object, so I'm assuming its an older version I am running (Pretty new to this )

try
{
systemServiceObj = device.getServiceObject("Service.SysInfo", "ISysInfo");
}
catch (ex)
{
alert("System Service object cannot be found.");
return;
}

Thanks

It's not necessary to use Platform Services, you can also get the locale by using WRT 1.0 SystemInfo Service API. Just copy this into your widget's HTML code:

<embed type="application/x-systeminfo-widget" hidden="yes"></embed>

and then grab a reference to it with this JavaScript code:

var sysinfo = document.embeds[0];

Hope it helps,
Pit

Hi,
Thanks for your help with this,

I have added the embed tag within the body of my html, and have added the following to my init() function:

var sysinfo = document.embeds[0];
alert(sysinfo.language)

The widget is alerting 'undefined'.

Thanks

Hi jayboduke,

does it always give 'undefined', or it gives that only when Spanish language is enabled?

Hi Pit,

I have it displaying the language correctly (had the embed placed after the .js include). When spanish is selected, it is alerting the language as en when i have Spanish selected (I thought this was English?)

Thanks
