Now that we have successfully implemented the Set Language control on a form, and figured out a means of passing the selected language to a subform, it’s time to explore how well the Set Language control performs in translating text on an editable view (a datagrid).
The K2 SmartForms Set Language Control, Part I
Overview
The Set Language control enables a limited multilingual capability for K2 SmartForms. The control was developed by a developer at K2, though the control is not officially supported as part of the K2 SmartForms product. The control may be downloaded from the K2 Community. An account is required to perform the download. Be sure to consult the document included in the download.
This post walks through a simple demonstration of how to use the Set Language multilingual control. In my brief exploration, I found that the control will not work on objects like message popups. In this demonstration, I manufacture a message popup using a simple subform, and show how a language value can be passed from one form to another to preserve the appearance of text in a chosen language.
