Please check it: Loosing translation on standalone SynDir tool

I have tested with buttons containing
OPENLANGUAGEFILE "%COMMANDER_PATH%\LANGUAGE\WCMD_DEU.LNG"
or
OPENLANGUAGEFILE WCMD_DEU.LNG
while using English language, and then called
%commander_exe% /S=S
and the Synchronize Dirs tool was always in German. Also LanguageIni is set to the correct path and not to "C:\$Recycle.BinOMMANDER_PATHLANGUAGE" reported by Dalai.

You should have marked the extensions in color, then I would immediately understand what you are leading to.

In my second post in this thread I intentionally underlined the important words language and menu file. If that's not enough, then it's not me who's missing an important detail.

The behavior of OPENLANGUAGEFILE is exactly as I reported when the command is used on TC's command line. It works properly on a button, even when the parameter is put into the Parameters field (which then requires doubling the percent signs).

Ok, I have to apologize here, it’s really somehow impossible, but the value of the LanguageIni option has been changed
I tried some scripts that make changes to the INI file on the fly. Perhaps this is the result of such work.
So thanks again to everyone who checked the behavior and found no errors in it)))

To be honest, I didn't notice it. Have you not supplemented the post after the first publication?

It's not yet clear why your results using full paths do not match mine and Christian's. Maybe there are some hidden conditions?

I don't think so. I don't rule out that I added the underline later, a few seconds after posting, but it's also possible that the underline has been there from the start.

Look at my previous post's last paragraph. When executed via TC command line you'll get exactly these results.

Yep, I see a bug:

Code: Select all

LanguageIni=C:\Test\..OMMANDER_PATHLANGUAGE\WCMD_DEU.LNG
Mainmenu=C:\Test\..OMMANDER_PATHLANGUAGE\WCMD_DEU.mnu

Let me remind you about the bugs of commands called from the command line. Will you fix it?

and not to "C:\$Recycle.BinOMMANDER_PATHLANGUAGE" reported by Dalai.

C:\$Recycle.Bin — there can be any current path to the file under the cursor or the working directory, if there is no file there.

Just to make everything clear:
OPENLANGUAGEFILE wcmd_xxx.lng switches to xxx language AND to xxx menu if a wcmd_xxx.mnu file exists - if wcmd_xxx.mnu does not exist, the menu is set to internal English.
OPENLANGUAGEFILE wcmd_xxx.mnu ONLY switches to xxx menu - the language for the dialogs and main program is not changed.
OPENLANGUAGEFILE .mnu loads Internal English menu but leaves the language for the program unchanged.
OPENLANGUAGEFILE without any parameter loads intenal English language and menu.

If the language files are located in TC's Language directory, then it is not necessary to state the path.

You can test these functions with my TC Languagebar

25.06.21 Fixed: When loading language files from a different directory than the default (e.g. via OPENLANGUAGEFILE), then also look for CHM/HLP files in the same directory (32/64)
06.05.21 Fixed: The following commands didn't support double quotes in the path directly in the command field: SAVETABS, SAVETABSL, SAVETABSR, SAVETABS2, SAVETABS2L, SAVETABS2R, SELECTFILES, LOADSELECTION and OPENLANGUAGEFILE (32/64)
26.03.14 Added: Change main menu only with new command OPENLANGUAGEFILE WCMD_xyz.MNU or OPENLANGUAGEFILE .MNU for internal (32/64)
12.03.14 Added: New internal command OPENLANGUAGEFILE WCMD_xyz.LNG to open specific LNG/MNU file pair from "language" subdir. Leave out parameter for internal language. Will not be added to .inc (32/64)

If the language files are located in TC's Language directory, then it is not necessary to state the path.

This was discussed above, but since the bug exists, it needs to be fixed.

I can say that there is no bug when using:

Code: Select all

OPENLANGUAGEFILE "%|COMMANDER_PATH|\LANGUAGE\WCMD_DEU.MNU"

from the command line -
as opposed to using:

Code: Select all

OPENLANGUAGEFILE "%COMMANDER_PATH%\LANGUAGE\WCMD_DEU.MNU"

Confirm.
