German text too long for WinXP native Browse Folder dlg

[toddpatt]

G'day,

I'm using AI 7.7 build 28804

My project is configured to use the Enhanced UI and I added the FolderDlg to the "First Time Install" sequence.

If a user decides to choose a different install path, he/she is presented with the Windows native "Browse Folder" dialog (as specified in the Enhanced UI documentation). After choosing a new install path, the user may click "Select Folder" or "Cancel" in the Browse Folder dlg.

When using the German version of my install package, the default text for "Select Folder" is "Wähle Verzeichnis". On Windows 7, this text fits nicely within the button width:

Win7 - DE button text.png (50.39 KiB) Viewed 3538 times

On Windows XP, this text is too wide and is truncated:

WinXP - DE button text.PNG (30.71 KiB) Viewed 3538 times

Even if a user widens the Browse Folder dlg by using the control in the lower-rt corner, the button width remains constant and does not resize.

I understand that "Wähle Verzeichnis" is a direct translation of the English version "Select Folder". However, it's too wide for the native Browse Folder dlg on WinXP. My coworker, who is a native German speaker, suggested "Übernehmen" instead. I suppose "Öffnen" would also work fine.

Also, for the benefit of other AI users reading this post, this text is exposed in the AI dictionaries as "UIText.BrowseFolderSelectFolder".

Thanks,
Todd

Hi Todd,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The dictionary has been modified and now its using the string "Öffnen".

Please let us know if you have other suggestions.
