I'm trying to edit a specific error text for the map scale input field. I have looked through all the .dll files in the bin folder for the corresponding danish text, using a dll inspector, but I can't seem to find the exact one im looking for.

Can you please tell me where to find the exact text (the hover text, when typing in a faulty value).

I'm looking in the .dll files, as the support has previously suggested decompiling and recompiling e.g. the Danish Intergraph.WebSolutions.Core.WebClient.Platform.resources.dll is the way to edit translations.

Thanks!

Hi Mikkel,

You can translate this phrase by adding this to MapConfig.js:

Sys.Application.add_init(function () {
    Ext.form.Field.prototype.invalidText = "My translation";
});

Regards,

Jan

Hi Jan,

Looking at the prototype, it looks like this is generic for all Ext fields. I wasn't specific about that, but what I meant was, that specific text field. But if this is a generic "invalid text" for all Ext fields, I guess I could do something similar for the specific Ext ID.

UPDATE - Recieved the following via email from Jan: Additionally, this specific message is straight from the ExtJS bundle: ExtJS35.dll, and can be changed by manipulating ExtJS.ext.build.locale.ext-lang*.js in the resources of the DLL.

Thanks!

You're right, the prototype contains a bit more controls with hardcoded strings. ExtJS even provided a cookbook how to localize their elements but I could find only the latest version for ExtJS 6 which is quite a different animal now.

I'm not certain if the ExtJS35.dll could be added to the localization package as it's 3rd-party library. So in the end, you might need to localize it manually using approaches that I mentioned. But I'm still checking this...

Hi Mikkel,

I've now reviewed the text in Danish Portal version and it is normally translated to Danish language. Do I understand correctly that you want to customize this message?

As I wrote you in the support ticket communication, ExtJS library comes with its own translations. It should be possible to decompile ExtJS35.dll and modify the internal locale files.
