Using i!-ConnectLinx
International Issues / Localization
Localization is the process by which an application is adapted to a locale, and describes a user's
environment or geographical location.
i!-ConnectLinx provides the standard action name, help string and folder names for all the standard
actions. This information is built directly into the i!-ConnectLinx module. If English is not the
primary language for the room, the standard action text can be changed.
The standard action text can be stored in a file called i!-ConnectLinxStdText.xml located in the
doc:\user\connectlinx directory. When a standard action is added, the text from this file is used for
the action name, the help string and folder names.
The i!-ConnectLinxStdText.xml can be created in two ways. The
i!-ConnectLinxStdTextTemplate.xml file can be altered directly and saved as
i!-ConnectLinxStdText.xml in the doc:\user\connectlinx directory. However, this file is difficult
to edit in a standard text editor so an XML file editor is recommended.
Alternatively, the i!-ConnectLinxStdText.xml file can be created using the
i!-ConnectLinxEngineStdTextWriter.axs file. To change the language:
1. Open this file in NetLinx Studio
2. Alter the text to support the language you choose.
3. Compile and download this file to a NetLinx Master.
The i!-ConnectLinxStdText.xml is written out to the doc:\user\connectlinx directory.
Once this file has been created once, it can be FTP'd to the NetLinx Master and placed in the
doc:\user\connectlinx directory. When i!-ConnectLinx starts up, the text is read from this file and
used for all standard actions.
