[mapguide-users] Changing the status bar unit spelling

[Jackie Ng]

I was just following the trail of source code and it originates all the way
back to the coordinate system of the map. At mapframe.php line 97:

        if($srs != "")
        {
            $csFactory = new MgCoordinateSystemFactory();
            $cs = $csFactory->Create($srs);
            $metersPerUnit = $cs->ConvertCoordinateSystemUnitsToMeters(1.0);
            $unitsType = $cs->GetUnits();
        }
        else
        {
            $metersPerUnit = 1.0;
            $unitsType = GetLocalizedString("DISTANCEMETERS", $locale);
        }

$cs is an instance of MgCoordinateSystem

$unitsType is the value that gets written to the ajaxmappanel.templ template
and what the status bar uses to write the current position.

The localized value DISTANCEMETERS defaults to "Meters" in localized\en.
Since your one is in upper case it must have come from the coordinate system
definition.

So the culprit would seem to be the coordinate system of your map.
