Internationalization in flex

Hello Members/Greg,
I was trying to implement japanese locale in one of prototype.
I probably did all the things to enable internationalization
according to following links
http://www.chikaradev.com/blog/?p=17 [thanks for this blog greg]
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_3:Feature_Introductions:_Runtime_Localization
still when i change locale to japanese everything appears in english please let me know what i may have missed.
label="@Resource(key='gauges.panel11', bundle='gauges')"
ths is how i set label to one of components.
set compiler arguments like below:
-locale ja_JP -source-path=locale/{locale}
path of locales [Project-Root/locale/ja_JP/gauges.properties]
executed this on command prompt.
bin\compc -locale=fr_FR -source-path+=frameworks/projects/framework/bundles/fr_FR/src -include-resource-bundles=collections,containers,controls,core,effects,formatters,logging ,SharedResources,skins,states,styles,utils,validators -output=frameworks/locale/fr_FR/framework_rb.swc
Please someone help me on this . its frustrating me now.
Regards,
Prad.

Hard to say, but I do see ja_JP and fr_FR in your post. Is this app for Japanese or French?
My post helps you build localized framework files, and that is important, but that will only localize stuff like the month/day names in DateChooser, set up the decimal separators, etc.
I would refer to the help sys docs on localization and try to get one of their simple sample applications working, then add more strings to the localized .properties file(s), and add more controls, and if everything worked with the simple app, then as you build the larger app everything should still work, and if not you can ask about specific problems.

Internationalization/Overriding label property?

I am new to Flex and have difficulties understanding something. I really appreciate any help that will come out of this.
I have successfully copied/pasted and adapted the code found here: http://flexme.wordpress.com/2007/07/11/internationalization-in-flex/
This solution seems to work great and I would really like to use this. When I make a formItem and set the label to
Localizator.getInstance().gT('translateme')
it all works great.When I click my language change button (currently only supports 2 languages), the label will show the same text in a different language.
Now, I am basically trying to create a small framework of components I will reuse in my application. Now on top of all the form components, I want to subclass the FormItem, and override the label property, so I would be able to type
<MyTextInput label="translateme"/>
And the label would automatically be translated in the front-end.
I've tried this with:
override public function set label(aValue:String):void {
super.label = Localizator.getInstance().gT(aValue);
And all variations on that, lke using a private variable _label and bind the super class to that variable. I tried some examples where an labelChanged event would be thrown from the setter which would be bound to the getter, etc. As I said, I am new to Flex, so I don't have a clue what I am supposed to do here.
If I try to use this
<MyTextInput label="{Localizator.getInstance().gT('translateme')}"/>
And I have a breakpoint on my overridden setter, I notice that the setter does get called when clicking on my language change button, so this gives me the feeling that the binding gets lost when I override the setter myself (in the solution I want it to work in). Any suggestions on how to approach this?
As I said, I am new to Flex so this might be a completely wrong approach and might never work at all. I'd really appreciate if someone can get me on the right track!
Thanks for your time and consideration!

I don't quite know what is going on with playing with more example code, but you said your trace/breakpoint shows the function is being called to change the label's text translation, but you just aren't seeing it right?
Can you work in a validateNow() on the label (or the component) after you call the Localizator? Labels can be a little sticky when the data in them changes dynamically, like if it was set via a dataProvider. So this might be a similar situation.
Good luck.

How does Flex support Internationalization?

I know the mx:Text, mx:Label, mx:TextArea support non-English languages. But do I switch, for example, a mx:Lable's text between two languages.
Is there a framework that support it?

Yes, It uses resource boundle. How do you use the property file with east asian languages, such as Chinese?
flex's resource bundles (RB) aren't like java RB, they're utf-8 text not escaped
unicode.
for swapping locales at runtime see this:

Flex sdk incremental build will lose swc information

I have a mxmlc ant task job like this
        <mxmlc
        file="${trunk_dir}/main/src/main.mxml"
        output="${local_tmp}/app/bin/main.swf"
                  >
            <load-config filename="${basedir}/flex-config-sea.xml"/>
            <source-path path-element="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks"/>
        </mxmlc>
in flex-config-sea.xml I put this in for incremental compile and swc build
      <include-libraries>

      </include-libraries>
      <incremental>true</incremental>
the first time build is ok, but the second time after I changed one single file, the output is

but the output swf is complaining lack of some swc when running, which didn't show up in the first time

this message normally shows up when there's no Mate_08_9.swc found at runtime. but this shouldn't happen.
is there anyway to work around this? thanks a lot

Somewhere in your pom.xml where you are configuring your build dependancies there will be a line <scope>caching</scope> this line is configuring the build to use a flex runtime shared library. This line is generating the error because caching is not a valid dependancy scope in maven 3 however mojos uses it anyway. There was a defect opened against flexmojos; I've linked it below. Froeder's response to the issue was that it was not fixable, that the warning is expected and that we'll have to live with it for now.

Korean font not displaying correctly. Internationalization Issue

Hello,
I'm not sure if this is an internationalization issue but I have an Adobe Air project that isn't displaying Korean correctly. I basically have created a MovieClip in Flash CC with a textfield child. When this movieclip is instanced in Air, it's text is dynamically assigned from a web service. The font used works fine except for Korean so we had to switch fonts when using Korean text. This is where things get interesting. If I try to programmatically change the textformat.font to use the Korean font, the font switches but just the Korean characters aren't supported. However if I set the textfield's font to the Korean one in Flash CC, everything displays fine. The font is embedding the same in both instances and is including 'All' characters.
I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I have to add a flag for Korean support somewheres in the build settings. I've created work around for now which has two textfields, one with the font we need and one for korean only. As the data from the webservice is parsed it detects for Korean characters in the string and if it finds them it makes sure the Korean textfield is used. Kind of a dirty way to do it but it doesn't seem to like changing the font family around.
Anyone else notice this?

It's the latest AIR 15 SDK with the Flex framework.swc and framework_fb.swf added for binding support
I overwrote the code since it was only a couple lines but here's what I was doing for the way that broke
var tf : TextFormate = this._sknPageShield.pageName.getTextFormat();
tf.font = "Arial Unicode MS";
this._sknPageShield.pageName.setTextFormat(tf);
The font changes because english characters showed up, however even though I click embed all fonts, korean characters do not display. I have to set the font on the textfield using the Flash CC tools and it works fine.

Problems displaying Thai characters in Flex FTE components on Mac

I am running into issues displaying Thai characters in Flex components that make use of the Flash Text Engine (FTE), specifically on Mac OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
Here's a blurb of my compiler font managers in flex-config.xml:
    <flex-config>
        <target-player>10.2.0</target-player>
        
        <swf-version>11</swf-version>
        <compiler>
          
          <locale>
              <locale-element>en_US</locale-element>
          </locale>
          <fonts>
              
              
              <managers>
                  <manager-class>flash.fonts.JREFontManager</manager-class>
                  <manager-class>flash.fonts.BatikFontManager</manager-class>
                  <manager-class>flash.fonts.AFEFontManager</manager-class>
                  <manager-class>flash.fonts.CFFFontManager</manager-class>
              </managers>
                
            </fonts>
        </compiler>
    </flex-config>
...and another from flash-unicode-table.xml:
    <language-range>
        <lang>Thai</lang>
        <range>U+0E01-0E5B</range>
    </language-range>
My flex application originally had the following defined in its stylesheet:
    Application {
        fontSize: 12px;
        fontFamily: Arial;
        font-sharpness:0;
        font-anti-alias-type:advanced;
Thai characters render correctly in mx components such as TextField so far. However, FTE components such as TextLine show those crappy-looking boxes as a substitution. My initial guess was that somehow one of the compiler font managers declared in flex-config.xml was not finding the right system font to fallback to for Thai characters. So, I ensured the system font was installed by going to System Preferences > Language and Text > Edit List. Then I changed fontFamily to Arial, Ayuthaya. Still was seeing the boxes of evil.
Next I figured that perhaps the Arial font might be assigning a box for each unicode value corresponding to a Thai character. So it was effectively overriding the Ayuthaya system font. So I changed fontFamily once more to just Ayuthaya and this worked with one issue - Ayuthaya looks inherently different from Arial for non-thai characters.
Here's my question - is there a less invasive way to support Thai in FTE components such that the appearance of the text is closer to the Arial font? I would rather not embed a font because I'm constrained on SWF size.

If you don't set fontFamily, what it will be? For such a question, you need turn to Flash runtime guys for help. I think you can find them on http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer?view=overview

Flex application running under AIR takes a long, long time to start.

I have a flex application which runs on a desktop under AIR. The application has an assets folder with 3,500 mp3 soundclips totalling about 50MB. The problem is, the application takes around 90 seconds to load. I'm sure that AIR is scanning the application folder and doing something with the contents because if I delete the assets folder it loads in about 5 seconds. Does anyone know why AIR/Flex would do this, and why it doesn't exhibit the same problem if I run or debug in Flexbuilder on eclipse? It's making my killer app unusable!
Thanks
Paulo

Well, I've spent a bit longer looking at this now, and the problem appears to lie with my encrypted local store. The first thing that happens is for the app to read the product key from the ELS. But, it fails (for some unknown reason). So, the app seems to hang there for 90 seconds until it eventually renders the welcome screen. If I remove the assets folder it still fails to read from the ELS, but only takes a couple of seconds to start the welcome screen. This is where the scanning of the application folder seems to come into play, because if I remove the code which reads from the ELS the app starts within 2 seconds whether the asset folder is there or not.
I think the slow startup and the scanning of the assets folder are just symptoms of a different problem, i.e. a problem with the ELS. I don't have the same problem with my development environment though - it's only when I test deploy the application.
Thanks for your help on this problem EgorKDie. I think I should be able to resolve it once I can sort out why the ELS is being awkward.

Is there a way of working collaboratively on a flex project with a small project group?

Is there a way of working collaboratively on a flex project with a small project group?
I am part of a small group of developers who wish to work on a single flex project together. Is there a way to set up flex so that the project can be developed by multiple people at the same time. I have seen one thread out on the internet about working locally and then uploading to SVn but this is not an option in this case.
Any ideas.
Many thanks in advance
Dave

I would say that rushing into development without a source-control system will cost you more in the long-run. If your organisation is serious about developing software it then it needs to invest in the necesary infrastructure, so you should get that process kicked-off as soon as possible.
In the interim you could set-up a source control server on one developer's machine or commandeer a spare machine to use as a temporary source control server. Just make sure you have it backed-up regularly. Or you could use one of the online source control services; many will support private repositories for a small fee.

Geolocation isn't supported in the Emulator. You'll have to set up a test case that gives the geolocation without relying on the Emulator.

Error in executing a process for Flex compilation ....exceeds 32K...

Hi,
deployin my model i get the following error-message.
"Error in executing a process for Flex compilation, Error: Branch between 64935 and 97770 around line 0 exceeds 32K span. If possible, please refactor this component.
Error: Branch between 64935 and 97770 around line 0 exceeds 32K span."
Do i delete a sort-element from my model it is deployed very well. So what does this message exactly mean and how can I locate where the error occurs and how can i fix that problem because i need this sort-element to be in my model.
Thanks for your help!
Tobias

Hi Tobias,
You are receiving this error due to a current limitation in the Flex server. How you can fix this is to split the iView you are currently working on into two iViews, and embed one within the other. This will decrease the size of the current iView you are receiving the error for and eliminate this problem.
Hope this helps
Cheers,
Scott

Hi Ameya,
If its VC 7.0 then you must be using Flash Compiler.Try changing the compiler to Flash at this path
Tools->Options->Compiler->Change 'Runtime filed to Flash'.I hope this should solve your problem.

Flex launching error on Windows Vista (Windows No Disk - exception ....

Hi guys, I downloaded the flex builder from adobe, I install the application but when I'am trying to lauch my application I get the error
Windows - No Disk ... exception processing message 0xc0000013
I reinstall adobe flash and my java runtime, I still get the same error, I can create an application but I can't execute it, that's sucks!
I check on adobe in the faq for flex, they say that error occurs when you install the application from a DVD, that's not true, I downloaded from their site....
thanks
Alex

Ok guys, I found it myself, very strange!
I just change my default workspace to another one, I got the same problem then I just put back the default workspace and the problem was resolved!

Using Flex 2 for dynamic creation of a Flex 2 application at runtime

We're looking to replace our existing end-user development
environment and believe Flex 2 may be able to satisfy our
requirements. However, without spending a month trialing the
product I thought some existing user(s) could suggest (based on
personal experience) whether we'd be straining Flex 2 in expecting
it to be able to provide dynamic runtine generation and execution
of an application based on the meta-data associated with each
component. The generation of each component includes automatic form
and code generation, with end-user tailoring facilities to maintain
the meta-data (tabs, fields (visibility, location, business rules,
actions, validation etc.), display format, drill-down, work-flow
etc.), for use in the next instantiation of each conponent.

I know of at least one of our customers (not sure if I can
say which) is doing this. They use Flex to compose MXML files and
then send that to a server. The server than compiles that into a
SWF.
So it is possible, just a lot of work.
