The Metaview applet
supports Java 1.02, which is good in that it runs in most browsers.
Unfortunately, Java 1.02 does not support the use of resource files
and fonts, which would enable the automated use of translated text
and localized formats as supported by Java 1.2. To overcome this limitation,
the Metaview applet enables you to name a resource file and a resource
font by specifying applet parameters. In this resource file, you can
hard-code translated versions of the text that the Metaview applet
uses.
Follow these steps to
manually translate the text in the Metaview applet:
-
Specify
the LOGRESOURCES parameter in your SAS job, generate the HTML, and
view it in a browser.
(See Metaview Applet Parameters.) The Metaview applet will then write its
tag/value pairs to the Java console.
-
Copy the tag/value pairs
that you want to translate out of the Java console and paste them
into your resources file. Then translate those values to your language.
You do not need to translate all of the tag/value pairs. The defaults
will be used where translations are not provided.
-
Name your resources
file
MVAResources.properties.
-
Store your resources
file in the same directory as either the HTML output file or the
sas.graph.metaviewapplet.jar file.
-
In the SAS program,
remove the LOGRESOURCES parameter specification.
-
If your resources file
requires a non-English text font, then specify that font as the value
of the parameter RESOURCESFONTNAME. To display this font, your Web
audience must have this font installed.
-
Run your program and
test your Web output.
