Sets the language name used by some pre-defined dialogs. Can also be changed using the global attribute LANGUAGE.
void IupSetLanguage(const char *name); [in C]
iup.SetLanguage(name: string) [in Lua]
name: Language name to be used. Can have one of the following values:
default: "ENGLISH".
All elements that have pre-defined texts. The pre-defined texts will be stored using IupSetLanguageString.
The native dialogs like IupFileDlg will always be displayed in the system language.
Even if the language is not supported (meaning its pack of pre-defined strings are not defined) the new language name will be successfully stored so you can set your own strings and return a coherent value, and the current defined string will not be changed.
Here is a list of the pre-defined string names:
IUP_ERROR IUP_ATTENTION (since 3.22) IUP_YES IUP_NO IUP_INVALIDDIR IUP_FILEISDIR IUP_FILENOTEXIST IUP_FILEOVERWRITE IUP_CREATEFOLDER IUP_NAMENEWFOLDER IUP_SAVEAS IUP_OPEN IUP_SELECTDIR IUP_OK IUP_CANCEL IUP_RETRY IUP_APPLY IUP_RESET IUP_GETCOLOR IUP_HELP IUP_RED IUP_GREEN IUP_BLUE IUP_HUE IUP_SATURATION IUP_INTENSITY IUP_OPACITY IUP_PALETTE IUP_TRUE IUP_FALSE IUP_FAMILY IUP_STYLE IUP_SIZE IUP_SAMPLE IUP_ERRORFILEOPEN (since 3.22) IUP_ERRORFILESAVE (since 3.22)
