Defining Translations in the AddIn

Translations for text are facilitated by calling T(). clsTranslation is the translation class facilitating language translation functions. modObjects.T is where clsTranslation is loaded.

Input (Output)	Variable Type	Required (Optional Default Value)	Description
strText	String	Required	The text to be translated. Use variable tags to facilitate variable substitutions (such as file paths).Example: T("Some String Translation Path: {0}",var0:=SomePath)
strReference	String	Optional vbNullString
strContext	String	Optional vbNullString
strComments	String	Optional vbNullString
var0	Variant	Optional	{0} substitution; converts to String for translation.
var1	Variant	Optional	{1} substitution; converts to String for translation.
var2	Variant	Optional	{2} substitution; converts to String for translation.
var3	Variant	Optional	{3} substitution; converts to String for translation.
var4	Variant	Optional	{4} substitution; converts to String for translation.
var5	Variant	Optional	{5} substitution; converts to String for translation.
var6	Variant	Optional	{6} substitution; converts to String for translation.
var7	Variant	Optional	{7} substitution; converts to String for translation.
var8	Variant	Optional	{8} substitution; converts to String for translation.
var9	Variant	Optional	{9} substitution; converts to String for translation.

Translation Definition

'---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Procedure : T
' Author    : Adam Waller

' Purpose   : Wrapper function to translate to current language

Public Function T(strText As String, Optional strReference As String, _
    Optional strContext As String, Optional strComments As String, _
    Optional var0, Optional var1, Optional var2, Optional var3, Optional var4, _
    Optional var5, Optional var6, Optional var7, Optional var8, Optional var9)

        var0, var1, var2, var3, var4, var5, var6, var7, var8, var9)
End Function

Example Use of T()

In this example, the result of T() to a (fictitional) translation lanuage ENG ALL CAPS of "Error with module: {0}" would be ERROR WITH MODULE: Some Cool Name".

' Example Use of T()
Public Sub RunStuffOrNot()
    Const FunctionName As String = ModuleName & ".RunStuffOrNot"
    Dim strName As String

    ' All Kinds of code
    strName = "Some Cool Name"

    CatchAny eelError, T("Error with module: {0}", var0:=strName), FunctionName

End Sub
