Language

The program description deals with the following:


Remarks on program function

The following describes how languages (from help, menu texts, etc.) can be programmed (or how existing languages can be changed). The MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application allows up to 99 languages to be embedded in the application. Please note, however, that the number of buttons which can be displayed for the language selection is limited in the dispatcher.

NOTE:

Three important steps should be carried out in the sector "Embedding new languages":

  1. The language must have been programmed with System -> User interface -> Language.
  2. The various help, menu texts, etc. must have been translated to the language concerned and then embedded. The procedure is described under Embed new language in MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application.
  3. The language is selected via the button in the dispatcher or after sign-on. Information can be found under Language selection. The documentation Define standard language describes how the standard language is defined.
