Is it possible to make an external file for a list of regular expression errors to be able to translate into languages other than English? There are specific programs that will only be used in their own country.

I *assume* it's based on PCRE like PB. http://www.pcre.org/pcre.txt

Regular Expression you won't master in a single sitting; too much variation and syntax. They just allow you to one-line pattern matching instead of scanning for matching in a simple binary or unicode character loop...

Only solution I see for your problem is using a translation service, likely over HTTP, in your code... I don't see any language mappings for it in the files...

PCRE uses an error code

Error return values from pcre_exec()

If pcre_exec() fails, it returns a negative number. The following are
defined in the header file:

PCRE_ERROR_NOMATCH (-1)

The subject string did not match the pattern.

PCRE_ERROR_NULL (-2)

Either code or subject was passed as NULL, or ovector was NULL and
ovecsize was not zero.

PCRE_ERROR_BADOPTION (-3)

An unrecognized bit was set in the options argument.

PCRE_ERROR_BADMAGIC (-4)

It can be assumed that the error text can be assigned

Code: Select all

new SyntaxError(message)

Code: Select all

var e = new Error("Malformed input") // e.name = "Error"
e.name = "ParseError" // e.toString() will return "ParseError: Malformed input"
throw e;

Code: Select all

var e = new Error("A problem has occurred");
// e.message = A problem has occurred
throw e;

I don't see any language mappings for it in the files...

So the internal javascript text is used.
I wonder how many phrases there are. I can simulate standard errors (no opening or closing brackets, etc.) and make an array to replace strings.

I spied a function in one of the scripts

Code: Select all

WScript.Echo(_localize("Save file first!"));

function _localize(s) {
	var strings = {
		"Save file first!": {
			ru: "Сначала сохраните файл!"
		},
		"Name of backup file:": {
			ru: "Имя файла резервной копии:"
		}
	};
	var lng = "en";
	// 	switch(AkelPad.GetLangId(1 /*LANGID_PRIMARY*/)) {
	// 		case 0x19: lng = "ru";
	// 	}
	lng = "ru";
	_localize = function(s) {
		return strings[s] && strings[s][lng] || s;
	};
	return _localize(s);
}

Considering that it is possible to get the browser language

Code: Select all

!var v_lang0$ = navigator.language;

On Windows I get the error text in Russian.
