What I did to Correct Project Translations Problem causing what seemed to be bizarre CCS behaviors to me.
Not sure if this should be a tip. It would probably be a good fit for a forum topic something like 'Tool Problem Remedies'. Anyway, it addresses a problem that I do not know the cause of. It only happened to one project so I cannot say it is a bug - I simply do not know how it occurred. Though it may be there, I did not see an answer in other areas of the forum.
Problem Background:
CCS Version: 4.2.00.040
English - I have not worked with any other language.
I started to get some strange behaviors in one project only.
For example, when using the builders to create search, grid, and record forms, NONE of the buttons were assigned a correct default text value. The buttons would all get the same text string of 'Submit'. Submit for the search button, the cancel button, etc. I had to manually replace the text for each button to the proper text.
Another problem was that the calendar pop-up was also not displaying properly.
Also, When entering data into the form, I would simply get the error message 'CCS_RequiredField' for fields that were required to have an entry even though the caption property that is supposed to display as part of the error message was set.
I determined that the problem was the Project Settings 'translations' file. Virtually all of the translations were missing. I am not sure how this happened as I do not think I ever touched it and always just leave the default English setting.
I tried republishing the whole project but the problem persisted.
I tried looking through the fourm. I looked at the xml in "C:\Program Files\CodeChargeStudio\Components\Translations\Site\" mentioned by Peterr in http://forums.yessoftware.com/posts.php?post_id=48798&s_keyword=xml and my CCS xml file looked fine.
I looked through the directory of this problem project and a good project to see what was different. I also compared the text of the common CCS files to see what was different. I found that the en.txt file was different in the two projects. I was able to correct this by copying the 'en.txt' file from the project directory of a project without this problem to the project directory with the problem. I then had to close the problem project and reopen it. It then used the new 'en.txt' file and the translations were OK.
I republished the project again and everything seems OK. (I tried to republish the project before closing it down but it did not work until I closed the project first).
I had not worked with translations files previously so this problem was not apparent to me and I spent a several hours trying to track it down. I did notice in this process that you can export translations from the Project, Settings menu then select Locales and Encodings, then the Translations button, then the Export button. I presume that may have also been a way to correct the problem. In other words Export from a good project and then import into the problem project.
