In my application, the user can enter data in different languages.
(Thanks to everyone who had suggestions for how to allow that. It
worked!) Now I'm wondering about something related. I have a
QuickTime movie, and I want to add a track that is associated with
each language. I can do that by calling QuickTime's SetMediaLanguage
(). However, the code I have to pass it is one of the script codes
from Script.h, like these:
enum {
langEnglish = 0, /* smRoman script*/
langFrench = 1, /* smRoman script*/
... etc.
Is there any way to translate what the user typed as the name of the
language (possibly in English, possibly in any other language) into a
script code? This will also be an issue when I attempt to save the
document data, as I was hoping to be able to use XML and use the
proper language code there, too.
Are there other ways to do what I'm trying to do? I thought of
presenting a list of languages to the user, and making them pick one,
but that seems really cumbersome. (Plus, would it be in English, or
in all the different languages? If it's in different languages would
users understand the sorting of the language names? etc.)
I took a look at some of the products that other people mentioned
(like Trados), and none of the web sites actually show how the
products work! Lots of useless marketing speak, but little actual
information on how the software works.
Thanks,
Darrin
