Hi, Robert

I appreciate for your answer.

1.I search for "RouteWidget.xml" in my hard drive (specially in api folder) but I can not find such file name. Could you guide me where the "RouteWidget.xml" file is?

2. Another question is what can we do for unsupported languages like Persian. I would be happy that find a file to hard code the directions instruction(like "go forward" or "start at" )into that. I mean the red line expressions in the following picture.

best regards.

Scott,

The routes language can be set using this tag in the xml

Here are the supported languages:

"directionsSupportedLanguages": [

"ar",

"cs",

"de",

"es",

"et",

"fr",

"he",

"it",

"ja",

"ko",

"lt",

"lv",

"nl",

"pl",

"pt-BR",

"pt-PT",

"ru",

"sv",

"tr",

"zh-CN",

"en"

]

Hi Robert

Where is the RouteWidget.xml and how I changed to the words that does not exist in default languages like persian?

thanks

Alex,

The directionslanguage tag in the RouteWidget.xml is all you need to change. So when you say you changed it can you share your RouteWidget.xml so your change can be verified for the correct syntax.

I don't use Flex, Network analyst or cultural language localization, so I may be of no help here. However, did you use the Directions tool for na mentioned here? It appears you need to specify the language as the seventh parameter of the tool and have a language packet installed on your machine or server prior to generating the directions. I am not sure what exact string the language parameter requires for any other languages, but if you have a language packet installed the help suggests it will provide some kind of drop down to help you apply it. So I am guessing something like the following would create directions in German:

import arcpy
arcpy.na.Directions("Route","XML","C:/temp/Route_Directions.xml","Kilometers",
"REPORT_TIME","Minutes", "German")

If this is not helpful, I apologize for my ignorance of the subject, but hopefully this will be of some use. In any case, this is all I can offer in response to your private message requesting help.
