Source | Tags

Use this sheet to control what strings are scanned from the files and how they are scanned. Tags are used to control the scan process. They are single line comments that contain information for Sisulizer scanner.

Tags usage

Specifies how tags are used when localizing. Possible values are:

There are two kind of tags. They are:

Information/Include tags

Information/include tag is used to pass string properties to the project. The syntax is

<comment><tag>[comment string|attribute]...
attribute=MaxChars=mc|MaxPixels=mp|Expression="expression"

where comment is the single line comment character (e.g. "//"), tag is a tag string (e.g. slz), mc is the maximum length of the translation in characters, mp is the maximum length of the translation is pixels, and expression is the combined string expression.

The following line has an include tag that makes Sisulizer to scan the string.:

str = "Hello world"; //slz

The following line has an information tag that contains a comment ("Clicking this button opens on-line help") and sets the maximum length to 300 pixels:

str = "Click Help to get more information"; //slz MaxPixels=300 Clicking this button opens on-line help

Following parts are enabled when the Tags usage is set to Localize all but excluded.

Exclude tags

If you want to disable localization of a string, add an exclude tag on the same line where the string is located. The syntax is

<comment><tag>

For example the following line contains SQL statement and it should not be localized. To disable its localization an exclude tag has been added:

str = "SELECT * FROM MyTable"; //noslz

Block exclude tags

You can disable localization of a entire source code block by using begin and end exclude tags. These will disable all lines between these two tags. The syntax is

<comment><begintag>
<ignoreline>
...
<comment><endtag>

For example the string in the following two lines are not localized.

//beginnoslz
str1 = "Do not localize this"; 
str2 = "Do not localize this either";
//endnoslz
