multilingual scripts

Advertisements

For some scripts it is necessary to display messages in the native language.

For that we can read the language setting in the camera via propertycase. Here is a little function for multilingual support in scripts.

Code: (lua) [Select]

-- get language
function get_language()
    --available language definitions in script are true
    local language = {}
    language[1]  = true  --en
    language[2]  = true  --de
    language[3]  = false --fr
    language[11] = false --es
    language[13] = false --ru
    --for more see: [url]http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/PropertyCase[/url]
    local lng
    if get_propset() == 1 then
        lng = get_prop(196)/256             -- 1/2 en, 257/258 de, 513/514 fr, 2305/2306 es, 2817/2818 ru
        if lng >  7 then lng = lng + 1 end  -- ukrainian not in propset1
        if lng > 22 then lng = lng + 1 end  -- romanian not in propset1
    else
        lng = get_prop(61)/256              -- 0/1 en, 256/257 de, 512/513 fr, 2560/2561 es, 3072/3073 ru
    end
    lng = lng + 1
    --returns language id if true or English as default
    return language[lng] and lng or 1
end

lang_id = get_language()

str = {}
str[1] = "English"
str[2] = "Deutsch"

print(str[lang_id])
