MySQL Administrator :: F XML Files Used by MySQL Administrator

mysqlx-options.xml: Stores options selected in the Options dialog.

mysqlx-status-variables.xml: Stores the status variables known to MySQL Administrator, so that they can be assigned descriptions in various languages (see below for the XML file containing those descriptions). Those descriptions will show up in the Status Variables tab of the Health section. You can select the language of the descriptions in the General Options section of the Options dialog. That file also determines in which categories or subcategories a variable will appear, and the order in which categories and subcategories appear. It does not, however, determine in which order variables appear within a category or subcategory, as those are sorted lexically by MySQL Administrator.

mysqlx-system-variables.xml: Stores the system variables known to MySQL Administrator, so that they can be assigned descriptions in various languages (see below for the XML file containing those descriptions). Those descriptions will show up in the System Variables tab of the Health section. You can select the language of the descriptions in the General Options section of the Options dialog. That file also determines in which categories or subcategories a variable will appear, and the order in which categories and subcategories appear. It does not, however, determine in which order variables appear within a category or subcategory, as those are sorted lexically by MySQL Administrator.

mysqlx-translations-administrator.xml : Stores descriptions specific to MySQL Administrator, like descriptions for status and server variables, or category names, or labels used in dialogs. Here is an excerpt from that file, which contains English and German texts:

Therefore, translating the software is a painless task; however, please have a look at the Notes for Translators below!

mysqlx-translations-general.xml: Stores terms and descriptions that appear not only in MySQL Administrator, but also in other graphical MySQL programs. Its format, however, is identical with the format of the mysqlx-translations-administrator.xml file. Here is an excerpt from that file:

     <textgroup id="ResourceStrings">
      <text id="OKBtn">
        <trans xml:lang="en">OK</trans>
      </text>
      <text id="CancelBtn">
        <trans xml:lang="en">Cancel</trans>
        <trans xml:lang="de">Abbruch</trans>
      </text>
      ...
