Languages

Your application, in your customer's language.

You type your captions the way you always did. One button fills the translations — on your Mac, offline — and what a human translated, the machine never touches again. That one rule is the whole system.

Nothing to do until you want it

A single-language application needs no command, no files, no ceremony. The base language is a project setting — “this application is written in German” — and it only says what you type. Every text stays exactly where you wrote it.

The translations live with the table

Every table's branch in the navigator ends with a Translations entry: every text of that module, one column per language, typeable in place. The list is enumerated from your forms, reports and menus — you never maintain it, and it is never stale.

The Mac fills, you outrank it

Fill Missing Translations translates what is empty — offline, on your machine, nothing leaves it. Machine work is marked gray and may be redone; the moment you type over an entry it is yours, for ever. Change a base text later and your translation is not silently replaced — it turns yellow and asks.

Scripts mark their sentences

In code, only you know which string is for a person's eyes. language.text("Saved!") is the mark — the string itself is the base language, no invented keys — and placeholders travel with the translation: language.text("Invoice {number} saved", …). A translation that loses a placeholder is reported before it ships.

The build ticks, the app follows the Mac

One checkbox per language in the build — with an honest footer: “12 of 480 entries missing — the base text shows there.” A built application follows the Mac in front of its user, within the ticked languages; a missing translation shows your base text, never a blank.

Neuridion's own windows come translated

The backup window, the standard dialogs, the find and export editors and every error message a person can be shown speak nine languages out of the box — English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Turkish — and follow the same choice your texts do. Your customer's data is never translated: it belongs to the person who typed it.

The long form — the editor, the states, the exact rules — is a chapter of its own in the manual.
