Hi,
I was sent a Spanish translation for the JAWS scripts, translated by
Fernando Gregoire. To include it, I need to add the ability for the
installer to deal with JAWS installations with multiple languages. It's
been a long long time since I've dealt with this, so some help would be
appreciated.
First, can a single installation of a version contain a script folder
for more than one language? I.E. can there be more than one folder
under settings, say settings\enu and settings\es (or whatever it is for
Spanish)? BTW: does anyone happen to know what it is for Spanish?
If so:
Are all of the script files, even the ones that don't change, installed
in each language folder?
Do people often have multiple languages installed?
In my thinking I have been assuming that you can have multiple languages
installed. I've thought of a couple of ways to implement this in the
installer.
1) Add another page to the installer for language selection. The
selected languages would be installed to selected versions that have
that language installed.
2) Add an entry in the versions list for each version/language pair.
This would avoid the need for adding another page to the installer UI
but would make the list long if someone had several languages installed.
3) Install to all supported languages installed for a selected version.
This wouldn't require a change to the installer UI but wouldn't allow
the user as much control.
I have to install my copy of JAWS 16, at which time I can investigate
the installer, so will be able to find out answers to some of these
questions, but any help from people familiar with using JAWS in a
language other than English would be appreciated.
BTW: I have code in my development version that silences speaking of the
Preview button and the record and and Append Record keystrokes. I've
been holding off releasing until I implement something to handle support
for multiple languages.
Thank you.
Gary
