Embedding the Language Selection Option in the Program Dispatch and Selection of the Language

1. Selection Options for the Language Selection in the Program Dispatch

If you have set up and embedded a new Language in the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application by use of the command dofgl, the selection option with which you can activate the language is displayed in the program dispatcher.

By clicking on the appropriate option button, all system texts will be displayed in the selected Language. System texts are menu texts, field and program names and the captions on the various buttons.

Help texts, notes and error messages will be displayed in the selected language, too.

The number of option buttons is limited and depends e.g. on the operating system. For example, in UNIX, three languages can be displayed. Therefore, include only languages you actually need in the selection.

As described above, the language option is displayed automatically with the execution of the dofgl command. However, the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application offers the opportunity to change the number of options and the languages.

Note:

Even if the selection button for a Language is being displayed, the language can only be activated if an oscar dofgl.fgl <Language> for this language is / has been carried out.
