Locale + XLIFF .. can't get it working..

**McUsher** · 11-22-2005, 08:22 AM

According to Flash8 help the flash code should be:

Code:

import mx.lang.Locale;
Locale.autoReplace = true;
Locale.addXMLPath("de","localetest_de.xml");
Locale.addDelayedInstance(greeting_txt, "IDS_GREETING");
Locale.loadLanguageXML("de", localeCallback)
function localeCallback(success:Boolean) {
    if (success) {
        trace(Locale.stringIDArray); // IDS_GREETING
        trace(Locale.loadString("IDS_GREETING"));
    } else {
        trace("unable to load XML");
    }
}

According to XLIFF specs my localetest_de.xml should look like:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xliff version="1.1">
 <file source-language="DE" datatype="plaintext" original="localetest_de.xml">
  <body>
   <trans-unit id="IDS_GREETING">
    <source>Hallo Welt!</source>
   </trans-unit>
  </body>
 </file>
</xliff>

But the TextField allways renders to "undefined" ...
I suspect the XML beeing formated not correctly.
I am totally lost now, anyone of u guys got it working yet?

you are missing a header tag and your attributes are wrong for the trans-unit tag.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xliff version="1.1">
 <file source-language="DE" datatype="plaintext" original="localetest_de.xml">
  <header />
  <body>
   <trans-unit id="001" resname="IDS_GREETING">
    <source>Hallo Welt!</source>
   </trans-unit>
  </body>
 </file>
</xliff>

If you have, before deciding to reposition XLIFF files, created them over String panel, then Flash wil allways look for them on default position.
And if they are not there, it will raise an error (or die silently prior AS 3.0), although you have provided path by using Locale.addXMLPath(...).

In that case, you have to remove languages, over String panel.

That way you'll have to edit them over external editor.
Bad thing is that Flash don't bind those files somehow.
Anyway, you can import files over String panel.

All the best,
