I'm writing in France an AppleScript application which must be used in USA. The target app is RealPlayer.
When I open its library (in Paris), most of the language is in french.
For example, "lecture" is used instead of "play", "fenĂȘtre" instead of "window"
As I thought that the dialect automatically changes to match the operating system being used on any given Macintosh, I made my little app in french... and sent it over the Ocean. My friend said he received message like this:
"the variable lecture is not defined" etc...
What is wrong? I can't imagine my friend obliged to use a French RealPlayer version...
How can I make an universal version ?

How did you save your script, Jean-Louis?

If you saved it as 'text', try saving it as 'script'. That way, any application-specific terms should be saved as raw code which, hopefully, should translate appropriately for your friend...
