370.0. "Translate CHAPTER output" by OSLCSC::OLAV (Olav Tollefsen, TSSC, Norway) Wed May 13 1987 11:44

    Is it possible to change some parameter to get CHAPTER in another
    language?

370.1yes, you canCLOSET::ANKLAMWed May 13 1987 12:4610
    
    Yes, you can make changes (for now) in a doctype-specific file.
    (I am working with people in the translation group in Reading to
    get the data I need to do it automatically from a <language> tag.)
    
    If you have the Base Level 6 Notes for System Users, Chapter 4
    explains what is needed in a local doctype for non-English text
    output. If not, let me know and I'll re-process that information.

370.2Need the procedureOSLVS5::OLAVOlav Tollefsen, TSSC, NorwayThu May 14 1987 02:415
    I don't think I have the documentation you described. I have looked
    in the "VAX DOCUMENT SYSTEM ADMINISTARTOR'S GUIDE", but couldn't
    find it there.

370.3English default output textIPG::SCHMITTGeorg Schmitt, IPG, ReadingThu May 14 1987 07:434
   "VAX Document T1.0 Release Notes for Base Level 6 Users" (page 4-16
    to 4-19) contains a Dutch example on how to replace English default
    output text.
    I copied this document from VAXUUM::USE3$:[SDML.BL7].

370.5\def\Prefacename{translation} does not workOSLCSC::OLAVOlav Tollefsen, TSSC, NorwayThu May 14 1987 11:2713
    I also tried to translate "Prefacename", but it didn't work. Here
    is my .DTP file:
    
\input DOC$STANDARD_FORMATS:TAG$M_REFERENCE.DTP
\def\Prefacename{Innledning}
\def\Chaptername{Kapittel}
\hsize=6in

    The "Chaptername" translation works.
    
    Any hints?

370.6bug in TAG$M_GUIDE.DTPCLOSET::ANKLAMThu May 14 1987 18:0014
    
    That was one of the names that fell through the cracks in Base Level
    7. It is fixed in Base Level 8. Meanwhile, you can correct
    the file DOC$STANDARD_FORMATS:TAG$M_GUIDE.DTP. You can located where
    the text is being output:
    
    \block{0}Preface
    
    and change this to \Prefacename. 
    
    sorry for the trouble.

370.7samples needed for debuggingCLOSET::ANKLAMThu May 14 1987 18:2810
    
    Any European users who develop definitions for their languages
    are very welcome to send their definitions to me. It will help me
    to debug the internal mechanism for setting the correct set of
    language strings automatically. I would also appreciate additional
    sample source files, particularly some with index entries. (Note
    that BL8 *does* support the multinational characters in the index.)
