Configuring Menu Languages in the Outline Tab

You can use the Outline tab to configure the menu languages.

To configure menu languages using the Outline tab

1

Click the triangle next to Languages to display the available languages. There should be
at least one entry.

2

Select the language entry to open the Language Inspector.

3

Choose a language from the Language Code pop-up menu. This is the language that this
language element should map to on the DVD player when the title plays.

4

If desired, enter a new name in the Language Name area. This is the name that you will
see when configuring your menus. By default, it changes to match the name of the
language selected in the Language Code pop-up menu. This name is not seen by the
viewer; it is strictly for your use while configuring menus.

5

To remove a language, select it in the Outline tab and press the Delete key.

Setting Up Menus for the Languages

Once you have created and configured your languages, you can configure their menus.
To do this, you need to have created and imported all assets (backgrounds, overlays, and
audio streams) that will be used for the different languages.

To configure a menu for a language

1

Select a menu. It does not have to be fully configured yet. Keep in mind that all settings
(with the exception of the background, overlay, audio file, and text) are shared among
all languages.

2

Do one of the following to choose a language to configure:

• Choose the language from the Language pop-up menu in the Menu tab in the Menu

Inspector.

• Choose the language from the Menu Editor’s language pop-up menu, next to the View

pop-up menu.

3

Select the background file, overlay file, and audio file to use for this language. You can
use the same file for multiple languages.

Note: These files must be compatible (the same format, resolution, and, in the case of
audio, the same bit rate, sample size, and sample rate) between all language versions of
the menu.
