When creating a new application, you select a language from the full list of languages that
Windows supports, as shown in the following illustration.
About the current application language
When you open an existing application and select a language from the list of languages
the application supports, that language becomes the current application language.
For example, if an application supports English and Spanish, and you select Spanish when
you open the application, then Spanish is the current application language.
This mean that when you save application components, such as graphic displays, the text
strings they contain will be saved in Spanish. Text strings in the application that are
unavailable in Spanish, will be treated as undefined.
Undefined text strings in an application show as question marks ( ? ) , unless the
application is set up to show undefined strings in the default language. For more
information, see “Setting up a default application language” on page 13-9.
Adding languages to an application
Use the Language Configuration dialog box to add up to 40 languages that you want the
application to support. You can add languages before or after you export the application’s
text strings for translation.
When creating a
new application,
you can select any
of the languages
Windows supports.
