Hello,

I'm thinking in starting to create a language database unit for Lazarus. The idea is to know as much as possible about all the needed features of a language.

For example all the possible encoding for it (UTF7 [not the same as UTF-8 and above],8,16,32,embdic, DOS code page etc...), The country(s) it is being used officially,
Direction (Right To Left, Top To Down, Left To Right etc..), full name, ISO names, geographic places (Asia,middle east, far east, europe, latin america, usa, canada, africa, etc) and so on...

This is not a hard work in developing but it is a lot of work do research all of this information and I wish to know if anyone will be interested in such unit, and if so will they be willing to give a hand for it ?

Will you find such unit useful ?
Please note that such unit will make your program bigger to use, but it will be one more step in the direction of supporting human languages better (I hope).

Thanks,

Ido

That information is already at http://cldr.unicode.org/ take a look at it.

You need it to detect the information of language, i think it have to be in the translation file, while Lazarus use PO file, you can put a custom property in the main language file.

I have doing that in my projects.

2011/2/21 ik :

Direction (Right To Left, Top To Down, Left To Right etc..)

Are you sure that any languages are written Top to Down in computers? AFAIK all Top to Down languages are nowadays written left-to-right. At least chinese made this transition.

Dear List:
i am working with Tdbf and i want to fix in a DBEdit control the words Yes or No.
If i do it typing "yes" or "no", no problem, the DBEdit control interprets a change and the Navigator bar become Active an i can "post".

but i want to do it clicking over the DBEdit.

i have implemented in the DBEditClick event this procedure
begin
    if DBEdit.text='yes' then DBEdit.text:='No'
    else
    if DBEdit.text='No' or DBEdit.text='' then DBEdit.text:='Yes';
end;

and the DBEdit control remain with the original field value and the Navigator bar dont get Active.

thanks in advance,

yours,

Hi Hector,

I think I follow your logic & it seems to me that you'd be better off using a TCheckBox and checking and assigning the .Checked property. Your logic would then become:
Var CheckBox1 : TCheckBox;begin // assign Checkbox1.Checked somewhere (true or false) Checkbox1.Checked := not Checkbox1.Checked; ... is this what you are trying to do? You are really just inverting the logic of the field, correct?

Best Regards, PEW :-)

Dear Peter:

thanks very much. Today in the morning i re-read the TDbf Manual and the Tony Maru Tutorial and i "discover" that i can use boolean fields. Then i put the DBChekBox on the form, re arranged the FieldDef and it pretty works.

Thanks very much. I expect to have others problems and i will consult you again. I am preparing an app. for Prostate Cancer Control for my daugther, who is especialists in this matters.

thanks again,

yours truly,

Ing. H?ctor F. Fiandor Rosario
