[AccessD] Looking at lines of code in code

Gustav:

The English is in the table as well.  What I pass is an argument that looks
something like the English message but isn't just so the code becomes a bit
more self-documenting.

Like:

MsgboxUni Me.hWnd, TranslateMsgbox("NoTagsToReportReportCancelled"), ,
vbExclamation

Or 

MsgboxUni Me.hWnd, TranslateMsgbox("AccessKeyIncorrect"), , vbExclamation

Or

MsgboxUni Me.hWnd,
TranslateMsgbox("ReadWriteAccessIsRequiredToRunCalculations"), ,
vbExclamation


Where the argument is in the field call MessageID (not the PK).
 


But with your approach how do I know the translation is missing?

Hi Rocky

That's why I recommend to keep even the native language in the translation
table.
Then you can insert a programmer's sentence in the code like:

  3210: Press OK to continue.
or
  $$ Press OK to continue.

and when you meet a messagebox or a control with that syntax you know a
translation is missing.
Also, it allows you to write the text in the code fast perhaps missing some
finesse and leave the hard work to a skilled writer.

This is to check that each of the message boxes in the system appears in the
language table where I store the multiple language translations.

So, once I find the call to TranslateMessage in the module, then I have to
look in another table - tblLanguage-Msgboxes - to see if the phrase to be
translated, which is the function call's argument, is in the table.  If not
I want to add it.

So searching for the phrase TranslateMessage would do it but each time I
find it, I'd have to copy the argument, flip over to the table and do a
search.
