Appendix D: Resource Editor
Translation Tool
This appendix contains information about using the Resource
Editor tool.
Overview
When you order software from Datacard, it includes the standard Factory
Translations. In addition to the Factory Translations, Datacard also offers User
Translation files that can be ordered separately. These files can be installed and
used to create other non-standard translations of certain interface elements such
as labels, names on buttons, and error messages. (For more information about
translations, contact a Datacard representative.)
Datacard provides support for several resource bundles (special files that
store interface text elements) for the Factory Translations. These files are
contained in the C:\[product]\bin\Controller.jar file. Because a new
Controller.jar file is shipped with each release, Datacard does not allow user
modification of the Factory Translation resource bundles.
Creating or Modifying User Translations
Users may create their own translations or install non-supported translations. The
User Translation resource bundles (special files that store interface text elements)
are contained in JAR files in the C:\[product]\translations\ directory and will
remain in place even when a new product release is installed.
User Translation files (resource bundles) allow read/write access and may be
modified. Different versions of a resource bundle may be created to support
different languages. A tool called the Resource Editor allows users of the software
to edit existing translations, add new translations, and compare versions of
resource bundles.
