All is in the title.

The ADD button (Tools>Option>General>Appareance>User language) search a file, but where and how find this file.

Thanks

Hi LeJP,

Please find attached our French translation file. The translation was contributed by a volunteer. It is not 100% complete. I hope you will find it useful. To use the translation file, press ‘Add’ from the User Langauge page and apply the attached file to it.

Many thanks, but it’s not really good.
After add, I can’t select the new language (I don’t see the new language in the list).
But the new file is in the “UserLanguage” directory.

Perhaps mistakes in the source file (There was tags after tag, I have moved this last tag, but it’s the same thing).

I can make a file for translation in french, but is there an “how-to” to do it ?

Excuse my English :? (you understand why I want a file with french translation :wink: )

Thanks

Hi JeanPierre,

The language file do not have any problem. Please download it and try again. You should see a new row “French” added to the list of available languages. Please read the attached image for more information.

Hi Jick,

I have exactly the same problem as Jean-Pierre. The French.lng translation file seems correct, it is well present in the UserLanguage directory but … no French row.

I use VP-UML 5.2 (Build sp2_20060506) for Community Edition on WinXPsp2.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Eric,

Please check the ‘French’ row, click OK to apply the changes and restart the tool. The changes should then take effect.

By the way, build sp2_20060506 is quite an old release. I would recommend you perform an update to advance to our latest build. You can update by running the updater inside $vp-suite-intallation-dir/bin

Finally, we will release a new version in the next week. I hope you will give it a try, and share your comment with us.

Best Regards,
Jick

Hi Jick,

I have just updated to build 20060611 but I still don’t see the “French” row in the table. So I can’t select it…

I will try to re-install VP-UML.

Thanks.

Hi, i’m a french user of VP community edition 5.3 and i’d like to use the french translation, but i experience the same issue as previous potsers: the “french” row does not appear in the “user language” table.

I’ve tryied using the “add” button, selecting “French-20051116a.lng” and then applying modification and restarting VP.

Thanks if you can help.

Hi Julien,

Thank you for the log file. There are some problems when loading the language file. I will discuss with our engineers and get back to you as soon as I can.

Best regards,
Jick

Hi Julien,
hi everybody in France,

I made some changes to the language file and tested it successfully here in my environment. Please see the screenshot attached.

I also attach the changed language file. Please let me know if it works.
We will be happy to work with you together to get a better translation done.

Thanks and best regards

Hi,

I just tested your file, but it didn’t fix the issue.
However, I had a closer look at the file, and I guessed there were some unecessary tags at the end of it (after tag).
So I deleted it, and now it’s working nice.

I can try to complete the translation if you want (not sure i can have it 100% completed).

Here’s the file I get:

Thanks Julien.
This was exactly what I did - seems I attached the wrong file.
It would be nice to have a cleaner language file for French users.
Before you start - let’s coordinate with development. We did the German translation some weeks ago and maybe you can benefit from our experiences.
Maybe you can send me your email address via private message?
Thanks and best regards

Hi

I’ve got exactly the same problems has you have all. I try different approach to solve it until I check carefully the syntax of the XML language file.

XML is very strick on its syntax. An open brace must have an end one. No Special caracter like accent, etc.

After I removed extra braces at the end, everything work fine.

Hope this gonna help someone.

I used the Julien’s file as posted in this forum as of sept 25th 2006. I’m not surprised seeing other people having problems with this files.

This files contains extra tag past the closing end of the userLanguage tag :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

When it’s done, just type normally in french, ie with the accent, like Modèle, État-transition, etc.

Regards

Daniel

PS: I’m using VP-UML v6.0 build 20070106
