Creating Language Phrase Packages
For each set of phrases you want in a different language, you need to have phrases recorded in that language.
See “Using Professionally Recorded Phrases” on page 88 for details. Each language’s phrase package must
contain phrase files, and two text files: one text file that lists syntax rules for numbers, and one that lists syntax
rules for sentence structure, since these vary from language to language.
The phrase files will have the exact same name/number as in the default language directory and will be part
of the same AA, but they will be stored in a different directory.
Note: AltiGen authorized distributors in each country will perform localization procedures to create language
packages, including syntax rules for numbers and sentence structure for their local market. For inter-
national customers, please contact the authorized AltiGen distributor in your country to obtain local-
ized language phrases.
Storing Language Phrase Packages
Additional language phrases (system and custom) and syntax styles need to be copied to the correct directory
before system startup, so that the system can recognize them. If they are added after system startup, MaxCS
7.5 needs to be shut down and restarted, before the directories are recognized.
(see Figure
40) illustrates the directory storage structure for language phrases.
Figure 40. Storage structure for multilingual phrases
The directories Lang1 and LangCustom contain the phrases of the system default language.
Phrases for language X should be saved in a pair of directories: Lang_X and LangCustom_X . Lang_X stores
the phrases required by the system, and LangCustom_X stores your custom phrases.
For example, to add a language for Mexico, you need to create two directories:
• Lang_Mexico
• LangCustom_Mexico
Configuring for a Multilingual System
To configure MaxCS 7.5 as a multilingual system, select System > Multilingual Configuration. The
configuration screen opens to the Language tab. Here, you will add references to the language directories you
created. These are the directories that contain phrases in other languages.
