Default translation

[john_1985]

Hi,

I am developing an InDesign plugin in C++ and I run into the following issue:

I have a combobox, in my .fr file, like so:

                                EVEDropDownListWidget 
                                (
                                    someWidgetID, 
                                    kSysDropDownPMRsrcId, 
                                    kBindNone, 
                                    Frame(0, 0, 100, 20),
                                    kTrue, 
                                    kTrue, 
                                    {{
                                        someStringKey
                                    }},
                                    kEVEAlignLeft | kEVERegularSpaceAfter, 
                                ),

I load some English words into the combobox, for example: "Default".

But something strange happens: When I use the Dutch version or German version of InDesign, it will automatically translate these values... As if ID has some internal dictionary.

Default -> Becomes: Standaard (For Dutch)

Default -> Becomes: Standard (For German)

But I don't want that... I want it to remain "Default" no matter which version/language of InDesign is installed.

What can I do to disable it?

I'd post in the forum link below instead. This is largely a user forum, not developers:

InDesign SDK

OK, my mistake... now asked in InDesign SDK.
