Language Compatibility
Unicode Support for Languages
Pro Tools supports entry and display of any lan-
guage characters supported in Unicode any-
where in the Pro Tools application. This lets
you:
• Use multiple languages in session names,
and in path names, file names and region
names within the same session.
• Search for terms in multiple languages in
DigiBase browsers.
Pro Tools Automatic Naming
Language
When working in a language other than En-
glish, you can set Pro Tools to automatically
name session elements (such as regions, tracks,
and I/O paths) in English. This is useful when
sharing sessions with other users working in En-
glish.
To set the Automatic Naming Language to match
the language selected for the Pro Tools
application:
1 Choose Setup > Preferences and click the Dis-
play tab.
2 Choose the language you want to use in
Pro Tools from the Language pop-up menu.
3 Deselect the Default Automatic Naming to En-
glish option.
