Languages

The Languages dialog lets you add and remove languages to the project.

Available languages

Contains a list of available main languages and sub languages. Add a language by dragging it to the Selected languages list, by double clicking the language, or by selecting the language and pressing the right arrow (->) button.

In most cases it is enough to add only main languages (e.g. French) to the project. A main language can usually support all the countries where the language is spoken. For example a localized French file will suffice for France, Canada, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland. However, sometimes words or at least the spelling of words differs between two countries. For example, United States spell some words in a different way. In such case you can add a main language and a sub language for the same language. For example add English language first and then the English (United States ) sub language.

When creating localized items Sisulizer uses sub language/main language chain to get the correct translation. Then if there is a translation in the sub language (e.g. English (United States)) that value will be used, otherwise the translation in the main language (e.g. English) translation value.

If the Available languages list does not contain a language that you want to use, you can to add the language to the System languages list. Choose Tools | General menu and select the Language sheet to add a new main or sub language.

Selected languages

The list contains selected languages of the project. You have to add at least one language. You can remove a language from the project by selecting and pressing the Remove (x) button or the Del key. You can reorder the selected languages by dragging and dropping or by pressing Up and Down buttons.
