4-2 Amano AXP-100 Operations Manual
The Basics
The AXP-100 software can be translated into any language provided the
computer supports that character set. To begin translation, start the AXP-100
program in either online or offline mode. From the
File menu, select the
“Choose Locale” option (see the Filing Options Dialog on the previous
page) and make sure the language and country settings are those required.
Choosing a Locale
It is very important that the correct locale settings are chosen before
beginning translation. When the
Choose Locale dialog first appears (see
below), it shows the default locale of the system. For instance, typical values
may show that the language is Spanish, and the country is Spain.
There is also a field called Variant , which is optional and by default is null. In
most cases, it is best to change the country field to none, and leave the
variant field as none, thereby selecting “general” Spanish. This will mean that
the base Spanish text can be defined which will work for any system with a
Spanish setup, regardless of the country it is in.
Choose Locale Dialog
If it then becomes necessary to change certain Spanish text for a different
country, the changes can be made at a later stage by simply modifying the
base Spanish text for the specific country without affecting the base Spanish
translation.
If this approach is not followed, then it may result in a lot more effort in the
long run, e.g., if Spanish/Spain is selected and translated, then translation to
Spanish/any other country will have to be done from scratch. If base Spanish
is defined, then only the changes for the specific country will need to be
redone.
