Multilanguage on Activities

 

 

An activity is a part of Datapolis Process System therefore developing custom activity supports Multilanguage localizations.

 

The idea of developing Multilanguage activity is shown in steps below:

  1. Add the necessary translations that is Name/Value pair entries into a *.resx file.
  2. Set the particular Names to the proper activity members (activity or parameter attributes) in the activity XML file.
  3. Copy and paste the *.resx file. Rename the copied file by settings a culture that activity supports e.g. *.pl-PL.resx.
  4. Transform the *.resx files to the *.resources files. To do this use the .Net Framwork ResGen.exe standard tool. To automate this process the following script: ResGen.exe *.resx *.resources can be added to the project Post Build event.
  5. Copy *.resources files into Datapolis Process System Activity folder. This script: xcopy *.resources "%CommonProgramW6432%\microsoft shared\web server extensions\15\Workbox\Activities\" /y will be helpful.

Example


The following example shows how the Name/Value pair entries placed in *.resx file can be used in the XML activity one.
