    Actions Tech. Note 18 Draft 1.0 Localizing Freeway Actions II Freeway 4 Pro supports multiple localization meaning that one copy of Freeway can be used in many languages. The language used is based on the language you have Mac OS set to. If Actions have been created with localization in mind then this will follow through into your Action Interface and even your Action output. Folder Structure To set your Action up for localization you will first need to create a folder to store your Action and the associated files in. This folder will be bundled once all of the necessary files have been added to it, it must also have a particular structure to it. It needs to contain a folder named "Contents", which in turn needs to contain a folder named "Resources". This must contain a folder "Actions" for the Action and further folders for each language that you want to represent the Action. These must take the form "Language.lproj" so for instance "English.lproj", Spanish.lproj", "French.lproj" and so on. There is no minimum number of localization folders you can use but you are limited to the maximum amount of languages included in Mac OS. 1. The folder structure Once the folder structure has been created you will need to make a Property List file (.plist) for the Contents folder. This will contain important information used to tell the OS information such as the developmental region of the bundle, an identifier for the bundle and so on. Creating the pList file The plist can be created one of two ways.

  • Programming Java for OS X
    Programming Java for OS X hat’s so different about Java on a Mac? Pure Java applica- tions run on any operating system that supports Java. W Popular Java tools run on OS X. From the developer’s point of view, Java is Java, no matter where it runs. Users do not agree. To an OS X user, pure Java applications that ignore the feel and features of OS X are less desirable, meaning the customers will take their money elsewhere. Fewer sales translates into unhappy managers and all the awkwardness that follows. In this book, I show how to build GUIs that feel and behave like OS X users expect them to behave. I explain development tools and libraries found on the Mac. I explore bundling of Java applications for deployment on OS X. I also discuss interfacing Java with other languages commonly used on the Mac. This chapter is about the background and basics of Java develop- ment on OS X. I explain the history of Java development. I show you around Apple’s developer Web site. Finally, I go over the IDEs commonly used for Java development on the Mac. In This Chapter Reviewing Apple Java History Exploring the history of Apple embraced Java technologies long before the first version of Java on Apple computers OS X graced a blue and white Mac tower. Refugees from the old Installing developer tan Macs of the 1990s may vaguely remember using what was tools on OS X called the MRJ when their PC counterparts were busy using JVMs. Looking at the MRJ stands for Mac OS Runtime for Java.

That is a shame. Pro- gramming is a useful tool for linguists, just as word processing or statistics. It can help you do things faster and at larger scale. When I started programming in my PhD, I realized how useful even a little bit of programming would have been for my masters in linguistics: it would have made many term papers a lot easier (at least the empirical part). I hope this tutorial can be that little bit of programming for you and make your life a lot easier! Most people think of professional hackers when they hear programming, but the level necessary to be useful for linguistic work does not require a special degree.
