2499.0. "Multilingual ALL-IN-1 problems" by KERNEL::LOAT (Keep passing the open windows...) Tue Mar 30 1993 17:49

    
    VMS 5.5-2 ALL-IN-1 3.0-1 British with French as the second language.
    
    A customer has logged a couple of calls here at the CSC about their
    multi-lingual system. We're in touch with a group in Frankfurt about
    this, but I thought I'd post the problems in here as well, just in case
    anyone has any pearls of wisdom to share!
    
    1) When a user creates a System Distribution list using the British
    interface, users who use the French interface cannot see these lists,
    and vice versa. This has been reported in 2.3, and 2.4, but note 1391
    in this conference implies that this was fixed in 3.0 This doens't seem
    to be true. 8-[ Any ideas why this doesn't work?
    
    2) When a user is created using the British interface, everything is
    okay, and they have got British specified as the language in their user
    profile, but when they spell check a document, it uses the French
    lexicon. If the user then does GOLD-J, and changes the language to
    British, everything is okay. Can anyone tell me where the language
    which is used for the spell checker comes from? Now that this has been
    done for 1200 accounts, is there any way to set this globally for all
    the users? Any hacks to do this?
    
    Thanx
    
    Steve.

2499.1	Re SDL problem	IOSG::MAURICE	Because of the architect the building fell down	`Tue Mar 30 1993 18:03`	21
	Hi, RE question 1. I looked at the old note and saw to my horror that it was me that gave the duff information. In my reply to that note I meant Private Distribution Lists rather than System Distribution Lists. I'll bet some moderator changed the title of the note from Private to System Distribution Lists ;^) My guess is that the string containing "MAIL-LIST" in OALLV.BLI gets translated differently per language. Why this should be translated I've no idea since I don't think users get to see this string. So as an experiment it might be worth changing this string back to English on the French version. If this works we can claim it's a translation error!! (Also the profile records of all SDLs would need changing to have a MAIDES of MAIL-LIST). Cheers Stuart
2499.2	A difficult customisation!	AIMTEC::WICKS_A	Oscar the Grouch is an Optimist!	`Tue Mar 30 1993 18:11`	8
	Re .1, Of course the customer would need a BLISS compiler to apply that change. Regards, Andrew.D.Wicks
2499.3		IOSG::PYE	Graham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's Apprentice	`Tue Mar 30 1993 18:55`	13
	Re .-1 Andy's right, but presumably they could be sent an updated object file... Anyway, "MAIL-LIST" is defined in OALLV.BLI, SA.A1$MSG, OA.A1$MSG and SM.A1$MSG (and site versions) so all of those need to be the same. The dictionary question could be better asked of WPS-PLUS in their conference, but it looks like hacking the LANGUAGE field in the MASTER dataset in all of the users' directories might do the business....

2499.4	Frankfurt bugfixes installed?	BERN01::MATSUI	Sandra Matsui, Berne Switzerland	`Wed Mar 31 1993 11:49`	13
	Did you installl all the bugfixes from Frankfurt? PETRUS::A1$ENG3:[DIAMOND.BUGFIXES$PUBLIC.FRENCH]README.TXT In profil.maides you should have MAIL-LIST and not PUBLIPOST. or PUBLIPOSTAGE. Have a look at note 2422 to see if there is anything there that could help you. We have german as our primary language and french as our secondary language on our test system in Bern. Sandra
