Configuring languages for runtime language switching

Every InTouch application is associated with a base language used to develop the application. You must configure any additional languages that you want to support.

Note: If you are using language switching in combination with Network Application Development (NAD), we recommend that you set the change mode to "Restart WindowViewer" or "Prompt user to restart WindowViewer" instead of "Load changes into WindowViewer" or "Prompt user to load changes into WindowViewer" for the NAD client node.

To configure languages for run-time language switching

1. In WindowMaker, open the application for which you want to configure languages.

2. On the File menu, in the Configure group, select Languages. The Languages window appears.

   

   The Configure Languages dialog box shows the base language of the application.

3. Select Add. The Add Language dialog box appears.

   

4. Specify the language and font settings. Configuring the font settings defines the default font properties of your translated text.

   • In the By Name or the Locale ID list, select the language to add. If you select the language by name, the corresponding locale ID appears in the Locale ID list, and vice versa.

   • Select Font. The Font dialog box opens. Configure the font and then select OK.

5. Select OK to close the Add Language dialog box. The language you configured is listed in the Configure Languages dialog box.

6. To add more languages, repeat steps 3 through 5.

7. When you are done, select Close.

To remove a language:

1. Select the language you want to remove from the Configure Languages dialog box.

2. Select Remove.

   The Confirm Delete dialog box appears to verify that you want to remove the language from the application.

3. Select Yes.

   The Configure Languages dialog box refreshes and shows the language has been deleted.

To set a default language:

1. Select the language you want to set as the default for the application on the Configure Languages dialog box.

2. Select Set Default.

   The Configure Languages dialog box refreshes and shows the default language of the application in the bottom left corner.
