Language IDs
Use this form to specify the location of this translation information for a language and country:
- The language ID, the language code, and a description of a language and country
- The table containing a language's text strings used in the user interface
- The subdirectory containing translated Help files
- The path and filename used to override the default help location designation for a particular application
- The language key used to display messages
- The font used in printing reports in a language
- The date format and numeric format used in printing reports in a language
You can customize language IDs to create a mixed-language user interface. For example, you could revise the default language ID fr-FR (French [France]) by setting the Help subdirectory to en-US (English [United States]). With the language ID fr-FR, the user interface would display in French, but the help would display in English.
Note: Before you upgrade to a new version,
ensure that you do not have duplicate language codes or other bad data. Otherwise, the
upgrade will fail.
