Externalization support and tools
Tools provided to assist in developing internationalized software are contained in the following applications:
NlsExternalizationRuntime
This application (in the ENVY/Image Base configuration map) provides the classes and protocols required for reading localized text at runtime.
NlsExternalizationTools
This application (in the ENVY/Image Development configuration map) provides additional protocols for creating files that contain localized text, and for converting these files to platform resource formats.
Loading the NlsExternalizationTools application created a new entry on the Transcript Tools menu named NLS Tool. This menu is populated with the following tools:
•Rebind Image Strings
•Maintenance
•Porting
•Translation
The first 2 entries are for .CAT files; the remaining entries are for .MPR files and their use is described in the Visual Programming User Guide.
