CSPro 8.0 is not an open source project but it is in the public domain, meaning that it can be used and distributed at no cost. However, if you are interested in collaborating on the CSPro development, there are currently three projects, changes to which are distributed with CSPro.
The runtime, system-level messages that CSPro displays are provided in English. Partial translations for these messages are also provided in a few languages, including Chinese, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Vietnamese. If you would like to provide message translations, we welcome your support. Please contact
cspro@lists.census.gov for details.
The complete list of system-level, English-language messages used by CSPro can be found in the installation folder, C:\Program Files (x86)\CSPro 8.0. The English language message file is named CSProRuntime.en.mgf. The other language message files installed with CSPro are named as follows:
| Name | Language |
|---|
| CSProRuntime.zh.mgf | Chinese |
| CSProRuntime.fr.mgf | French |
| CSProRuntime.pt.mgf | Portuguese |
| CSProRuntime.ru.mgf | Russian |
| CSProRuntime.es.mgf | Spanish |
| CSProRuntime.vi.mgf | Vietnamese |
Note: If you add an
external message file to your application that begins with "CSProRuntime", the messages in that file will override the system messages that CSPro uses.
The help documentation that you are currently reading is created using
CSDocument. This tool is distributed with CSPro but the documentation itself is hosted on GitHub:
We welcome users to add new help topics, clarify existing ones, or even do things as small as fix typos.
The CSPro Examples folder is also hosted on GitHub:
If you want to modify any existing example, or want to add a new example that you think will be useful to the broader CSPro community, you can collaborate on this project.
