Introduction

This command provides users with the ability to switch language from English to another language.

Language switching is managed via translation files. The software reads the translation file during startup and when a 'switch' is applied via this command and translates all original text to translated text.

Details

Upon selecting the command the following form is displayed:

Translation Settings
Group settings for translation behavior

    Translation ON
Checkbox to enable or disable the translation feature. If enabled, the following controls apply.

    Translate Terms
Checkbox to enable translation of specific terms (single words). This looks for a file called VariableTerms.ini located in the CSA Settings/Language folder

    Translate Phrases
Checkbox to enable translation of phrases (collections of words). This looks for a file called VariablePhrases.ini located in the CSA Settings/Language folder

    Legacy Translation
Checkbox to enable legacy translation methods. By default, this is applied in the software when Translation is not applied

    Use Country Codes
Checkbox to toggle the use of country codes. This will refer to the Windows regional settings to determine the appropriate language file to apply. It will look for files with name <Country Code>_VariablePhrases.ini, where <Country Code> is the two part description of language (eg: es-ES for Spanish)

    Always Use Country Specified By CSD
Checkbox to force the country code specified by CSD. In the Settings, users can set a Country to apply.
