I sent a pm to Matthiew but he has no time at the moment, he will look into it (eventually)

the problem is probably minor - perhaps someone else can fix it. i don't think Matt would object..

Could you copy and paste this in the Ruby Console, and show the result?

Sketchup.active_model.options.map{|o| o.name}

It should look similar to this, but may be in your language:

["PageOptions", "SlideshowOptions", "NamedOptions", "UnitsOptions", "PrintOptions"]

Yep, that what I get.

Sketchup.active_model.options.map{|o| o.name }
["PageOptions", "SlideshowOptions", "NamedOptions", "UnitsOptions", "PrintOptions"]

Thanks Ken, I was hoping to see if a foreign language version used translated names for these.

Maybe I should have just said that to begin with.

I fell foul of something similar... When you call options you must do it by 'name' not 'index' and similarly for their values ?

anyone out there willing to take this on?

Jim · 7 Oct 2009, 11:53

I added translation using the langhandler.rb that comes with Sketchup. I sent a copy to Matt, but he didn't respond. I guess it would be OK if I posted it.

But I am not 100% sure that was the problem - I made some assumptions.

toggle_units.rb

rename to toggle_units.strings

mm..this is what i get:

Error Loading File toggle_units.rb
cannot convert nil into String

CadFather · 8 Oct 2009, 14:29

anyone with the same problem?

Jim · 8 Oct 2009, 14:32

You might need to rename the toggle_units.txt to toggle_units.strings and then move it to the Sketchup/Resources/your langauage/folder

CadFather · 8 Oct 2009, 14:39

yes, already done yesterday - same error..

Jim · 8 Oct 2009, 14:42

Will you try to load it from the Ruby Console and post the error?

load 'toggle_units.rb'

got it Jim, it was something to do with the path to the icons - the ruby console is great but not when you forget its existence, Thanks!
