In the case of templates based projects, could it be that the same .rlt is used to author pieces in lots of languages?
Yes, in the case of XOT
Then the setting has to live with something project-specific, i.e. the xml file.

You might need to back-peddle a bit while I understand what's required: this is to configure the language for a particular project, right?
Right.
So for a particular .rlo or .rlt file?
Ehmmm... yes in Xerte standalone, not in XOT, than it is for a specific .xml
In the case of templates based projects, could it be that the same .rlt is used to author pieces in lots of languages?
Yes, in the case of XOT
Or is this an application-wide setting, for all projects made with this version of xerte? In which case, put it in a file somewhere in the install.
That is also an option, but not the one I thought of. I wanted to be able to choose the language for each piece seperately. I have that now, it is in the Pages menu, but if I open a previously created project, I want the editor/wizard to switch to the language the piece was originally written in.
How will it work for toolkits?
I would assume in toolkits, you set the language of the user interface and that determines the language of the wizard and the xwd's

Julian,
I have a hard time finding the proper/best place to add this feature. Firt I thought the only thing I had to do was add the attribute to the first child of contentXML in editor.fla, but that's not the correct object. contentXML contains the .rlm/.rlo/.rlt. Right?
So what is the correct object?

Hmmm... I assume we will use this also to select the engine language at 'runtime'? At least for now?

I'd put it on the LO tag as an attribute authorLanguage="en-GB"
Defaults to English I guess.

Yes, I don't see any reason for wizard support. Why would you want to change the authoring language.
So...
1. Where should we (I) add that attribute to the xml.
2. What is the most logical place to check that attribute when opening an LO?
One other small issue is how to determine the default language (if at all) when opening Xerte (with no LO , so from the link on the desktop)

OK, let's do that: you mean just add it to the bare bones xml file with no wizard support?

For 2. No I think we should seperate the two, and thus add authorlanguage. I assume it will be in the xml. No use to expose it in the xwd. I don't see any reason why you would change your authoring language at the moment.
For 1. I'll take that off-line and send you a screen shot.

How do I see an example of 1? Not sure what you mean...
For 2 I'm not sure either: I guess we need to expose it on the LO properties, but there is already a 'language' property that configures the soft keyboard for 'funny' characters. The trouble with that is that the LO might well be written in English, but includes French exercises, so the language would be set to French, even though the authoring language was English.
Maybe we just need to define 'authorLanguage' and use that?
I can't think of any other way, can you?

I created a separate topic for the Windows version...
I will generate a new beta in 15 minutes.
two things need to happen (as far as I am concerned)
- I can't get the translation into the two checkboxes (advanced etc in the wizard. Don't know why)
- I need a way to put the editor in the correct language mode if you open an existing LO that was created with a different language mode than.
Don't know exactly what the easiest way is to do 2. Obviously we need to add a way to store the selected language in the xml of the LO, and than act on that when opening the LO in Xerte.

How long do you reckon you need to get those enhancements into the codebase? I'd quite like them to go in this release if that's manageable. On the other hand I'd like to get this release done asap: we want to upgrade our installation here to the latest code, because some of the requests we've had from people here are only in the new build; also, we have the Xenith project up and running and want to release the HTML5 stuff in October when that ends: I'd prefer not to have two releases very close together, I'd prefer to get this finished and on the web site soon.
Are we in a position to release a updated Xerte for Windows? That would be a good first step.

Hi all
just a quick note to say after today I won't have access to add any new code/files to the test installation until next weekend. So if anyone is working on any changes/updates that you wish to be tested during the coming week please commit to the XOT svn today.
I did do some experimentation with regards to moving all the authentication adaptor configuration into the setup process; but it probably needs some more thought (e.g. quite what should a database authenticator ask for - username/hostname/password/table name/field name(s) etc?).
