Standard phrasesets are used, in conjunction with language localization bundles, to provide audio variable functionality to Dialog Designer applications. In audio variables, Dialog Designer takes the value of a variable and parses it in such a way that pre-recorded audio files can be used to play back certain standardized types of information. For more information about audio variables, see Audio Variable.
Note:
Installing standard phrases involves copying phrasesets and optionally the audio
files. If the audio files are stored externally, then it is up to the developer to store
the audio files on the external server and configure the phraseset to reference the
external location.
To install a set of standard phrasesets:
- In the Navigator view, right-click the project directory. From the pop-up context menu, click Properties.
- Dialog Designer displays the Properties for projectName dialog box, where projectName is the name of your project.
- In the contents pane on the left, select Dialog Designer.
- In the display area on the right, Dialog Designer displays the Dialog Designer properties tabs.
- Select the Languages tab.
- In the Project Languages list, select the language for which you want to install the standard phrases.
- Click Edit. Dialog Designer displays the Project Language dialog box.
- Click the cascading icon adjacent to Localization Bundle Options to display standard phrases installed (or not installed). From here, you can:
- Install standard phrases - Click Install, and the indicated localization language is installed. To uninstall, subsequently click Uninstall.
- Indicate for standard phrases on an external server to be installed - If this option is selected, it means that the audio files for the localization bundle will not be installed in the project.
- In this case, the phraseset file for the standard phrases must be edited to specify that the localization bundle uses "External Audio" files and the "Base URL" is set for the audio file location. See Adding a Localization Bundle for more details.
- After completing the step, click OK.
- Dialog Designer copies the files based on the specified localization bundle options to the appropriate resource directories.
