pui.getLanguageText

[mbconsul]

Where can I find the documentation for this API? I would like to be able to change the default text in the PUISCREENS display file where this command is used.
Example the header text for EOJScreen is "Script: pui.getLanguageText("runtimeText","pui")
How does "pui" translate to "Profound UI" which is the display

It looks up a string in a language dictionary. To understand that, you'll first need to understand this:

For example, let's say I wanted to put the word "Welcome" on the screen, but I wanted to show it in the user's language. I might make strings like this:

Code: Select all

pui["myDict"]["en_US"]["welcome"] = "Welcome";
pui["myDict"]["fr_FR"]["welcome"] = "Bienvenue";
pui["myDict"]["de_DE"]["welcome"] = "Willkommen";

So when I retrieve the string for "welcome", from the dictionary named "myDict", I want it to give me the right string for English, French or German, depending on which language the user is configured for. To do that, my application would run:

Code: Select all

myString = pui.getLanguageText("myDict", "welcome");

myString would now be set to the proper string based on the language that has been configured.
