Re: other language descriptions for microsoft ODBC drivers

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



I thought that the language drive name just came from
the registry, and was placed there by the installation
script.

All of the Jet driver registry entries just point to
the Jet driver: I don't know that there is a 'driver
descriptor' anywhere other than the registry at all.

Hi,

I have a problem with other language(ex: Spanish, French...) Microsoft
ODBC Drivers.

My application has to support 16 different languages. I am making a
user friendly GUI for ODBC administrator to create and edit DSNs( I
know it sounds stupid but it is a requirement). I am using
SQLConfigDataSource function is doing it.

SQLConfigDataSource needs a driver descriptor as a parameter when
creating a new DSN. Driver description (usually the name of the
associated DBMS) presented to users instead of the physical driver
name.

Ex: "Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)"

Microsoft also has issued other language descriptions in german,
spanish etc

Ex: Driver do Microsoft Access (*.mdb) in spanish, Microsoft Access-
Treiber (*.mdb) in german

The problem is if we create a DSN using one language descriptor we
cant assess it using other language descriptor. How can I solve this
problem.

I tried to get all the drivers present in the local system but I dont
know all the descriptors name for 16 languages for 6 drivers I am
supporting. To compare them with the drivers list which may be present
in users systems.

Can some one help me out on this issue.

Regards,
Shashi
