6.1.2 The Set System Language Menu Item
By default, English is the language used for the text found on Micro-PWC system windows, menus, but-
tons, and so on. The labels, titles and other words used in this manner are called strings. Users who wish
to customize their system and translate text strings into languages other than English can create new
directories of string files for the desired languages(s). The English language strings in these files are then
translated into the new language. When this task is completed, the Micro-PWC system must be instructed
to use the directory for the new language instead of the ENGLISH directory. (Creation of new string files
and string file directories is discussed in
Section 6.2 .)
To change the language directory used, select Basic > Set System Language. The Select Language win-
dow will be displayed. Click on the desired entry (for example, German), then click on Ok. Any windows
opened after this operation has been completed will be displayed in the new language. Windows which
were already opened will remain in the original language; close them, then re-open them, to use the new
language.
6.1.3 Exit
Select Basic > Exit to exit the Micro-PWC Maintenance Utility program. If you were editing an item such as
a string file, you will be prompted to save the changes before exiting.
6.2 The String Files Menu
The String Files item on the menu bar of the Micro-PWC Maintenance Utility window is used to access the
utilities used to create new language directories and to create, modify and verify string files. The String
Files menu includes the following utilities:
• Open
• Save
• Create Language Directory
• Verify Language Directory
• Update Language Directory
• Delete Language Directory
6.2.1 Modify a Language String File
The Open item is used to modify a language string file. Click on this menu item to display the Load File
window. Toggle buttons in this window allow you to select the desired language directory (for example,
English, German, French). After the language directory has been selected, a list box will display the
available string files in that directory. Click on a file to select it, then click on Ok. The text of the selected file
will then be opened for edit (using the Micro-PWC system note editor) in the main portion of the Micro-
PWC
Maintenance Utility window.
The file will contain comment lines (lines beginning with the '#' character), which provide information about
the file. Below the comment lines are string file entry lines, which consist of a symbolic name, followed by a
string value in quotes. For example:
SI_LOGIN "LOGIN NAME: "
✎ NOTE The Micro-PWC system setup program always sets the system
language directory to be ENGLISH during the Micro-PWC system
installation.
