Step 3. Add Languages for Multilingual Use

If you have specified YES for Multilingual Support on the Add System Partition screen in Step 2, you need to perform these steps to define the language you require and provide translations for all menu options and function key descriptions.

1. From the Housekeeping Menu, select the Change partition being worked with option. The Systems Partitions screen is displayed with a list of the existing partitions.

2. From the System Partitions list, select the partition to be worked with (in this example DEV) and press Enter. The Housekeeping Menu will be displayed for you to select the change you require.

3. Choose the Work with partition multilingual attributes option from the Housekeeping Menu. The Multilingual Partition Languages screen, similar to this example, will be displayed with the languages already available:

^{DC@P400501 Multilingual Partition Languages}

^{Multilingual Partition : DEV}

^{Select language to review/change or use Add key to add a new language}

^{Sel Language Description Default}^{= ENG English}^{= DEU German YES}^{= TCHI Traditional Chinese}^{= HEB Hebrew +}

^{F1=Help F3=Exit F6=Add/Create F12=Cancel F14=Messages}

4. Press the Add/Create key to add a new language, or if you wish to review/amend a language listed, select the language and press Enter.

The Add or Review/Change Multilingual Partition Language screen will be displayed, as appropriate.

To add a new language, enter a four character identifier representing the language you require and a description of the language.

5. Press Enter to continue to the Multilingual SAA/CUA Defaults.

6. Enter the text you require if you are creating a new language, or, if you have selected an existing language, amend the text if required. Press Enter to continue to the Multilingual Function Key defaults.

The Multilingual Function Key Defaults are spread over 2 panels. Use roll-up to reach the next screen when there is "+" in right bottom corner.

7. Make changes as required. The standard defaults are displayed if the language you have selected is already available. (In this example, the default is English.)

8. Press Enter and the new language (Gaelic in this example) will be created.

After a short wait, you will be returned to the Multilingual Partition Languages screen.

To add another new language, select the Add/Create key and repeat these steps.

When all required languages have been entered, press the Exit function key to return to the LANSA Main System Menu.
