Name:
translate$() -- translate a string
Synopsis:
Translation$ = TRANSLATE$(Source$)
Description:
The counterpart to the localize command is translate$(). It translates the string Source$ according to known dictionaries (see localize for more information about dictionaries) into the language currently set as default.
Note: However, supporting the localization of your program is a good idea for BeOS users too because localization support might be added soon to BeOS yab.
Example:
print translate$("File")
Explanation:
Using only the system dictionaries, we can obtain the translation of "File" according to the language set in the preferences.
