Show Trailing Delimiters Registry entry

In a multi-language environment data is entered into a field in one language followed by the next, separated by a delimiter (and so on, for as many languages as required). In an environment with three languages for instance, data might be entered into a field as follows:

language 1;:;language 2;:;language 3

The Show Trailing Delimiters Registry entry specifies whether the language delimiter sequence should be displayed for trailing languages when there are no values in the trailing languages.

Tip: It is also possible to specify that the delimiter(s) display in empty fields (Show Empty Delimiters Registry entry). This can be very useful for data entry.

Note: The Show Trailing Delimiters Registry entry only works when All Languages are showing. This entry may be set on a system-wide, per user or group basis.

If we have a system that is configured, via the Supported Registry entry to handle two languages and we have a data value of:

Some data

there are two ways the data could be displayed:

Some data
Some data;:;

For the first case the value of the Show Trailing Delimiters Registry entry is false. In the second case it is true. The screenshot below shows data displayed where the Show Trailing Delimiters Registry entry is true. In this example, EMu supports three languages (English, French and Arabic):

The setting does not apply to empty fields. The primary purpose of this entry is to allow users to append the next language to existing values without the need to enter the language delimiter.
