Translating Object Mapping Layers

Before v3.10, it was not possible to translate the name of the Objects mapping layer (Assets/Buildings/Elements or Heritage) layers and where the link of an object to an object was a parent, sibling or child link. If you did translate these in the relevant mapping layer (CHM_Layers.inc), the CMSi mapper failed to find any related object. From v.3.10, this now works and you can translate these labels

To achieve this, you need to translate some layer or class names in both the chm_layers.inc and map.ini:

Map.ini – layer 26 is the Objects (CHM) layer. In this file, edit the line "MapLayer" e.g. MapLayer=Objecten
CHM_Layers.inc: you must translate the layer name for each of the point, line and polygon layers and class names. An example CHM_Layers.inc is below
Remember if you use MapLink, you must also rename the Group in your mxd or qgs file to match the CHM layer name e.g. "Objecten"

Example CHM_Layers.inc
