General information

RichViewActions require localization, even if you use only one UI language.

Initially, the language specified in TRVAControlPanel.Language is used. If TRVAControlPanel component is not used, 'English (US)' is used. This language will be used in dialogs displayed by RichViewActions, but Captions and Hints of the actions themselves are not localized yet. Call RVA_LocalizeForm to localize them.

For changing UI language, use RVA_ChooseLanguage function. The topic about this function contains an example.

Other localization functions are declared in RVALocalize and SRVALocalize units.

If you want to add a translation to you language (for example, Greek):

1.First, a translation RichViewActions for TRichViewEdit must be done.

2.Open SRVAL_EngUS.pas, rename it to SRVAL_Greek.pas. Add SRVAL_Greek in "uses" of SRVALocalize.pas. (If you use Delphi/C++Builder 2009+, save this unit as UTF-8).

3.Translate all text in this unit (do not translate comments!)

4.Change the call of SRVA_RegisterLanguage to SRVA_RegisterLanguage('Greek', @Messages).

5.Send the translated file to [email protected] for including in the main installation of ScaleRichView. Your file will be maintained (it will be corrected when new messages will be added in the future versions of RichViewActions and ScaleRichView)
