Custom Unit Descriptions - Сообщения
I've been trying to add some units to Smath that aren't supported natively (specifically unit weight in pcf, linear load in plf, and flow rate in gpm, cfs, etc...) I've been able to successfully add all of this to the units.xml file and they work just fine. The issue I have is that I'm trying to add the descriptions of these units to the language file so that it displays correctly in the dynamic help dialog during use.
I have edited my ENG.lang file as follows:
ENG
English

With my additions and changes highlighted. When I do this, Smath fails to launch. If I remove the unit descriptions (I.e. the lower change in the snippet), Smath will launch just fine. If I launch with my units.xml file pointing to ids past 714 (i.e. for the new descriptions), the dynamic help shows an empty string for those units. Additionally, if I launch with the changed count at the top, Smath will throw an error when attempting to insert a unit, and I won't be able to sort by type of unit (velocity, force, etc...) in the resulting dialogue.
So my question is, what am I doing wrong? What do I need to do to get Smath to accept my additional unit descriptions? I've searched the forums and my best guess is that I'm running afoul of some kind of protection? Is it possible that the long string on line 4 is a hash for verification and my changes mean it's no longer valid?
Thanks,

As I said, I have all my units added to the units.xml file and they work just fine. I just can't get the descriptions added to the ENG.lang file to work.
Thus, using the units.xml file lacks the chance of adding description texts. Also, this approach is non-portable. Your files won't work in an SMath installation without your particular units.xml.
You might use a snippet instead.
These are ordinary SMath files which can be embedded in any other file just by typing their name, usually as collapsed area region. And in ordinary SMath sheets you can define units with descriptions in whatever set of languages.
The advantage is that such files are portable. The disadvantage is that they aren't updated when you update your unit snippet.
This auto-update can be achieved using the plugin-mechanism. It also includes portability, as the dependence on plugin and version is stored in the sm file and any user with an installation lacking this plugin will be offered to download it from the online gallery in the extension manager.
Of course, you can ask Andrey to include your units in the next update. That would be the easiest and most straightforward way for the users.
This, however, would require you to stick to common standards and not to invent arbitrary units of convenience.
I don't check if you can add different description for different languages.
Best regards.

If you have red, expect some user of your SS version to doctor.

So my question is, what am I doing wrong? What do I need to do to get Smath to accept my additional unit descriptions?
Simply do not reference the *.lang file; that is: do not specify an ｢id｣. Instead, I would advise you to just declare a ｢title｣ field.
If you inspect the ｢Constants.xml｣ file, you will notice the constant "ε.0" does not reference an id, but just defines a ｢title｣ of value "Vacuum permittivity"; the ｢title｣ field IS the value that is displayed as the SMath unit description.

<synonym name="ε.0" />
</add>
<add factor="2.04548" exp="3" connection="(kg/{s^2*m})^0.5" [h]id="612">[/h]<!-- id='612' : Hildebrand, solubility parameter -->
