Chapter 8: Multilingual Configuration

Configuring for a Multilingual System

To configure AltiWare as a multilingual system, select System > Multilingual Configuration. The Multilingual Configuration screen opens to the Language tab. Here you will add references to the language directories you created. These are the directories that contain phrases in other languages.

Figure 2. Multilingual Configuration, Language tab

When you first run AltiWare, only the default language is listed in the Multilingual Configuration screen, and the description of the default language is displayed as Default Language. Each language added to the table will have a formal name, a description, a system phrase directory (LangDir_X), and a custom phrase directory (LangCustomDir_X), as shown in Figure 2.

To add a language:

1.Click the Add button. The Add Language dialog box opens.

2.Choose a language from the drop-down list. The drop-down list shows the language directories you have added to the C:\PostOffice\Phrases directory.

3.Enter a description for the language. This description will appear elsewhere in the graphical user interface, for example in the Extension Configuration window and the AA tab in this screen.

4.Click OK.

5.Repeat these steps for each language you want to add.
