Dear Mabel

I am sending you the instructions in English on behalf of many of our colleagues that cannot read Spanish

How to prepare iAH translations

iAH interface v.3.x comes in four languages: en, en, pt, fr

Enabled languages ​​are recorded in the file:  C:\ABCD\www\htdocs\iah\scripts\iah.def.php
in the line:  AVAILABLE LANGUAGES=pt, es, en, fr

The order of the language statement is the order they appear in the interface as enabled
and the order (1, 2, 3 ... ) should be indicated as the subfields:  ^1  ^2 ...
in the file    <BASE>.def  found in the directory indicated in the line
PATH_DEF=/ABCD/www/bases/par/    (example for ABCD)

iAH has a set of 31 structural files for each language with extensions.pft y .htm located in C:\ABCD\www\htdocs\iah\scripts\<lang>

If you want to add a new language, such as Catalan (indicated by the ISO code CA), you should follow the following steps

1) Make a new folder for the new language:     C:\ABCD\www\htdocs\iah\scripts\ca

2) Go to the directory  C:\ABCD\www\htdocs\iah\scripts\translate
    there you should create a file ca.txt containing the seed texts used to generate the needed new 31 files
    For that, copy one of the existent files as a modle, for example  es.txt
     copy  es.txt  ca.txt

3) Edit ca.txt with a common editor likle notepad

This new file has a total of 89 lines, where to the left side of the = sign is the term encoded in English and at the right of = sign has the word or phrase translated into another language.     Preserve the terms on the left side, do the translation for the new language on the right side  and save the file when you finished

4) En el directorio ..\translate  existen varios archivos .bat del tipo  translate2<lang>.bat
   copie uno de ellos con el nombre correspondiente al nuevo idioma,
   por ejemplo   copy translate2es.bat   translate2ca.bat

4) In the directory .. \ translate   there are a number of .bat files like Translate2<lang>.bat.
    one for each language
    again, copy one of them, example  translate2es.bat with a new name
   copy translate2es.bat translate2ca.bat

5) Edit this file  translate2ca.bat
   and customize the script according to new new language, in this case all references to es should change to ca

  ejemplo:
  mx2 seq=ca.txt= "proc='d*a1~{{'v1'}}~a2~'v2'~'" -all now create=to_ca
  ...
  for %%i in (*.pft) do mx2 seq=%%i gizmo=to_ca lw=9000 pft=v1# now > c:\ABCD\www\htdocs\iah\scripts\ca\%%i
  ...
  etc
save the file

6) Now you have all in place to run the translation process, run  translate2ca.bat
    when finished you'll find the new 31 strctural files of IAH created in corresponding
   C:\ABCD\www\htdocs\iah\scripts\ca

If you find later, anytime, mistakes or typos, edit the ca.txt file and run again traslate2ca.bat and you will fix the installation
