  • The "Project" tab, which allows you to enter general information about the project.
  • The "Analysis" tab, which lets you associate one or more analyses with the project and/or a UML model.
  • The "Data files" tab, which lets you enter information about the data files managed by the application (only available if the project is linked to at least one analysis).
  • The "Live Data" tab, which allows you to configure how the data from the data files is displayed in the different editors.
  • The "Languages" tab, which is used to configure the different languages used by the project as well as the options to be used for each language.

"Languages" tab

Project languages

This tab is used to manage the characteristics of the project languages.
To add a new language into the project:
  1. Click "Add".
  2. In the window that is displayed, select the different languages supported by the project.
    Remarks:
    Available languages
    • If the requested language is not displayed in the list, you have the ability to select an additional language (the additional languages are displayed in the lower part of the window).
    • To name an additional language, click the requested language and type its name in the "Name of custom languages" area.
  3. Validate. The different languages are added into the list of project languages.
Remarks:
  • The selected languages will be proposed for all information in the various elements that can be translated (field labels, menu options, field-related help messages, etc.).. The display order of these languages is identical to the one of the list of project languages.
    This order can be modified via the arrow buttons found below the list of project languages.
  • When changing the project language, changes will be automatically taken into account:
    • for any new object created in the different editors (Window, Report, Control, etc.).
    • for any element opened in the different editors (Window, Report, etc.).
  • The default language (identified with the number "1") corresponds to the language used by default at runtime. To modify it, use the context menu of the language that will be used by default.
  • WEBDEV - Server code The "Use the language requested by the browser if available" option opens the WEBDEV website directly in the language of the user's browser.

Linguistic options

You can define how to display numeric data (number, currency, date, etc.) in the project for each supported language.
Windows language options are used by default (these options can be found in the Windows control panel).
To configure these options:
  1. Select the requested language in the left section of screen.
  2. Select the tab corresponding to the item to be set (number, currency, etc.)..
  3. Modify the desired parameters and validate.
Note A button allows you to reset parameters to default values at any time.
When creating an Edit control or a table column displaying numerical data (number, currency, date, time, duration, etc.), the input mask used will automatically be the mask defined in the project's language options. This option is available in windows and pages.
At runtime, when an edit control or a table column has a mask "Defined by the project", the input/display mask will automatically adapt according to the options selected in the project for the language displayed at runtime.
Remark: The "Miscellaneous" option lets you define:
  • the writing direction.
  • the character set used.
  • the WDM translation file.
Minimum version required
  • Version 10
