Language Support

Because of the way in which QA Build programs are organised, it is very simple to change the language of the user interface. You do not need to modify or recompile the program itself. The alternative language affects only the maps on your database.

To add maps in a second language to your program:

1. Run the Map Editor and select the mapset you wish to translate
   
2. Select the number of the second language
   
3. Edit each map in turn, translating the text as you go
   

To run your program in a new language:

1. Change the default language in DFSETUP
   
2. Run your program. The text will be displayed in the new language
   

To set up your program to run in more than one language:

1. If you have not already done so, add an option to your program to prompt the user to log on (see under User Access and Program Calling Facilities )
   
2. Add a new user to your application database, and select the new language
   
3. Run your program, and log on as the new user – the text will appear in the new language
