measure tool localization

MatejSkerjanc

As per title, is it possible to localize the measure tool?

The language local will be picked up from the browser settings. One way to force language localizations is to set the locale in dojoConfig. Find the following tag in your html file and modify accordingly:

<script type="text/javascript">   var dojoConfig = {      parseOnLoad:true,      locale:"es"   }; </script>

More details in the JS API Localization concepts page.

Additionally, you can explicitly override and/or change the measure tool messages as described in the ArcGIS JavaScript API Dijit Text Strings help topic.

Hello Martin,

you can include "dojo/i18n!esri/nls/jsapi" and then in your function declare the following, where in the string translation, you define the corresponding Slovenian one.

esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_area = "translation";

esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_area_acres = "translation";

esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_area_sq_feet = "translation";

esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_area_sq_kilometers = "translation";

esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_area_hectares = "translation";

esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_area_sq_meters = "translation";

esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_area_sq_miles = "translation";

esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_area_sq_yards = "translation";

esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_length_kilometers = "translation";

esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_distance = "translation";

esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_length_feet = "translation";

esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_length_meters = "translation";

esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_length_miles = "translation";

esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_length_yards = "translation";

esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_resultLabel = "translationΜέτρησης:";

esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_decimal_degrees = "translation";

esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_latitude = "translation";

esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_location = "translation";

esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_longitude = "translation";

Hello,

can someone describe how to localize this tool in Slovenian because in JSAPI there is sl locale but it doesn't work.

Thanks in advance

Martin

The above statement is wrong,
the bundle exists and its easily accessible via

require(["dojo/i18n!esri/nls/jsapi", "esri/dijit/Measurement"],
            function (bundle, Measurement)
            {
               .....
                    bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_area = i18n.tools.x_config.NLS.area;
                    bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_area_acres = i18n.tools.x_config.NLS.area_acres;


just dont use dojoConfig.locale with wrong language identifier. In my case i used 'sl-SL' instead of 'sl'. With 'sl' everythign started working. You can see the language (if it's not forced with dojoConfig.locale) from the "browser" object "navigator.language". Hope this clears up the mess i've made with last post.

Regards,
Matej

the esri.bundle.widgets no longer exists in the 3.4 (i started using the 3.4 now). Does anyone know how to localize the measurement widget now?

Thank you

regards,
Matej

Is there already a solution how to hide some units?

AntigoniKoffa

hi Antigoni Koffa
is it possible to remove some of measures in the area ,length dropbox ?
we dont use hectares , or feet.

Hi,
I have also searched if it is possible to do that but i haven't found a way yet. If i manage to do it, i will keep you informed.

AntigoniKoffa

Hi all !
@saroussi
To answer your second question about eliminating the location button

measurement.hideTool("location"); where measurement is the variable used for the declaration of the widget.

Mindaugas_ižas

I would not suggest to use localization bundle as I had some with measurement widget. the only way out was just set string values in javascript (Lithuanian):

    esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_area = "Plotas";
    esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_area_acres = "Akrai";
    esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_area_sq_feet = "Kv. p�?da";
    esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_area_sq_kilometers = "Kv. kilometrų";
    esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_area_hectares = "Hektarai";
    esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_area_sq_meters = "m²";
    esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_area_sq_miles = "Kv. mylių";
    esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_area_sq_yards = "Kv. Jardai";
    esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_decimal_degrees = "laipsniai";
    esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_length_kilometers = "kilometrai";
    esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_distance = "Atstumas";
    esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_latitude = "Platuma";
    esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_length_feet = "p�?dos";
    esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_length_meters = "m.";
    esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_length_miles = "mylios";
    esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_length_yards = "jardai";
    esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_location = "Pad�?tis";
    esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_longitude = "Ilguma";
    esri.bundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_resultLabel = "Rezultatas:";

Like lots of things, the measure widget is so close to being good, but needs a few tweaks. For example changing the list of units for area and length, as well as being able to set a default for the point location tool (as well as changing the list of units) - for example no-one in our organization use long/lat or DMS we use British National Grid - all our data are defined in it and that is the only system we use.

Cheers

PS Does anyone else have the measure tool suddenly zoom in to almost real world scales on click? You click and the map zooms into a VERy small area - so small the scale bar breaks with NaN for instead of numbers.??

sorry but
i didn't see Hebrew listed there !
am i missing something?

That was the point of the link - it's not listed i.e. not supported out of the box.

But note the page states:

You can define strings for additional locales by creating a new resource bundle file that contains the translated strings. View the Dojo help topic Globalization Guidelines: Locale and Resource Bundle for more details.

In other words, if you supply the translations then you can add support for additional languages.

Have you followed the guidelines and created your own bundle yet? (I don't know of any samples for this, perhaps another forum member has done it?)

__Rich_

hi all
can you set the language of the measure tool to Hebrew?

From above - http://help.arcgis.com/EN/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jshelp_start.htm#jshelp/localization.htm

MatejSkerjanc

I'm setting it to slovene.

JianHuang

What language are you setting to?

MatejSkerjanc

oh thank you sir, i'll go read on it. Couldn't find anything via google or forum search yet, i bet your links will help.

update 1: tested the locale set it to SL and i get error Bundle not found: jsapi in esri , locale=SL. So i'll go read on it and report back when its done
update 2: upon reading the links i've solved it, just the DEGREES DMS remains to be solved since i cannot find it in the DIJIT text strings settings.

<script type="text/javascript">   var dojoConfig = {      parseOnLoad:true,      locale:"es"   }; </script>

MatejSkerjanc

Yes. Similar to all JS widgets, measurement widget support 9 different languages. You just need to specify the locale in your config settings.

would you by any chance have any example of this? all i see in the template.js for localization is measure: { title:"sometihing", label: "somelabel"} what i want to localize are those combo box with measurement units and the messages

JianHuang

Yes. Similar to all JS widgets, measurement widget support 9 different languages. You just need to specify the locale in your config settings.
