Language
The
program description deals with the following:
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":
- The language must have been programmed with System
-> User interface -> Language.
- 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.
- 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.
Attention!
- If changes have been made (translations of mask
texts, online help texts, etc.) these must be sent to the R&D
department in Berlin. This will ensure that the changes are integrated in
the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application and can be found in the next release or update.
The
following details all options available for update of the basic data.
The
following applies to this program:
- The entry mask may differ in
your MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program depending on the set-up of the user program. Some data fields may be missing.
- Some data fields may have defaults or defined
selection options so that they cannot be updated in this program.
- The entry mask may contain fields with enforced
entries, and in other fields entries may be optional.
- If the data record is updated over several pages
of entry masks the dialog
window is reached by clicking on the
appropriate button with <Mouse key 1>.
- The procedure is the same if you want to call up
another update program from this program.
- In some cases you may find the so-called.
"Switches" which are either activated or deactivated - depending
on the setting - by clicking with <Mouse key 1>. Activated switches
have a dark top, deactivated switches are lighter.
