I made an update at http://www.genopro.com/beta/InstallGenoProBeta13j.exe
This is a build just for you guys. The documentation is available at http://www.genopro.com/NewReportGenerator/Objects/NameDictionary/

Sample code is found in the file Init.htm and Individual.htm from the skin template.

Let me know what you think about this solution. Does that work for you? If so, I will write more code so you won't have to edit the file NameDictionary.xml.

Dan,

just checked the names dictionary and found the name "Mike" being translated by google into マイクロフォン, which means microphone; please correct into マイク.

the name Daniel was correct. (phonetic translation)

Thanks for your feedback. The Google translate does sometimes produce funny results. Once my sister Estelle was reading a page translated from English to French. The pharse "When he arrived, all his fans were waiting for him" had been translated to "Lorsqu'il est arrivé, tout ses ventilateurs l'attendaient". In french, the word "ventilateur" means an object with propellers, which is indeed a fan.

I keep getting this message, while trying to generate report using Beta 13i:
Error at line 85 (init.htm) : Object doesn't support this property or method: 'LanguageDictionary.Families'
Microsoft VBScript runtime error 800A01B6


I'm getting it even without the lines I added to my init.htm file
Set oNameDictionary = Util.NewNameDictionary
Session("oNameDictionary") = oNameDictionary
oNameDictionary.BuildLookupTable "NameDictionary.xml", "EN", "HE"



Another question:
As I understand - the build in feature is not yet implemented and we should enter the translation manually?

Yes, you have to enter the names manually in the file NameDictionary.xml until I provide a tool within GenoPro. First of all, I want to get feedback if this technique will work for you guys.

Should GenoPro substitute the translated names before generating the report, so you don't have to deal with the NameDictionary object while generating the report?

I did tried it using the LanguageDictionary and it worked great then. I will try the new method using the NameDictionary.

I am not sure what you mean. Do you mean that GenoPro will translate the names automatically without any need for the user to write code?


BTW, I edited my last post. I got an error message using 13i.

Yes. For instance, the Config.xml could have a tag:
<ReportGenerator>
<NameDictionary File="NameDictionary.xml" From="EN" To="JA" />

<Report Template=" ... " />
</ReportGenerator>

This way, GenoPro would automatically load the NameDictionary.xml and perform a name lookup (translation) for every individual and place within the genealogy tree before starting generating the report. In other words, this name translation would be transparent to the report templates.

BTW, I edited my last post. I got an error message using 13i.

What error do you get? The version is 13j.
