Declaration

function LanguageToStr(ALanguage : TMsgLanguage) : string;

Description

Converts a TMsgLanguage to string, e.g. msEnglish would return 'English', msItalian returns 'Italian', etc.
If Localized is true, the language is returned as it would be in that language, e.g. 'Italiano' for msItalian.

Example

// Create a pop up menu to select language
procedure AddLanguagesToMenu(Pop: TPopupMenu; OnClick: TNotifyEvent);
var
  langs: TMsgLanguages;
  i: Integer;
  aLang : TMsgLanguage;
  NewItem: TMenuItem;
begin
  Pop.Items.Clear;
  langs := IEGlobalSettings().GetLanguages();
  for i := Low( langs ) to High( langs ) do
  begin
    aLang := langs[ i ];
    NewItem := TMenuItem.Create( Pop.Owner );
    NewItem.Caption := LanguageToStr( aLang, True );
    NewItem.Hint    := format( iemsg( IEMsg_SetLanguageToX ), [ LanguageToStr( aLang , False ) ]);
    NewItem.Checked := IEGlobalSettings.MsgLanguage = aLang;
    NewItem.Tag := ord(aLang);
    NewItem.OnClick := OnClick;
    Pop.Items.Add(NewItem);

    // Add separator for "Default"
    if aLang = msSystem then
    begin
      NewItem := TMenuItem.Create( Pop.Owner );
      NewItem.Caption := '-';
      Pop.Items.Add(NewItem);
    end;
  end;
end;

procedure TfrmMain.LanguageClick(Sender: TObject);
var
  aLang : TMsgLanguage;
  I: Integer;
begin
  for I := 0 to popLanguage.Items.Count - 1 do
    popLanguage.Items[I].Checked := False;
  aLang := TMsgLanguage(TMenuItem(Sender).Tag);

  try
    IEGlobalSettings.MsgLanguage := aLang;
    TMenuItem(Sender).Checked := True;
  except
    MessageDlg( 'IELang32.dll not found! Copy it to the EXE folder for localization support.', mtInformation, [ mbOK ], 0 );
  end;
end;

procedure TfrmMain.PopupLanguageMenuAtControl(Control: TControl);
begin
  if popLanguage.Items.Count = 0 then
    AddLanguagesToMenu( popLanguage, LanguageClick );
  popLanguage.Popup( Control.ClientOrigin.X, Control.ClientOrigin.Y + Control.Height )
end;
