Definition of the Default Language

The definition of the default language depends on the operating system and the mode.

1. Singleuser Mode (Linux and Windows)
2. Multiuser Mode (Linux and Windows)

Singleuser Mode

• Sign on as "root" <su root>. You are signed on as root if the first character of a line is a #.
• Enter the directory bin <# cd /usr/oscar/oscar.d/bin>
• Change the access rights <# chmod 777 oscar.def>
• Run the editor <# vi oscar.def>
• Search for MICROS Retail OSCAR POSLANG <[ESC] / MICROS Retail OSCAR POSLANG
• Now you have the following text passage:
• 

The entry "MICROS Retail OSCAR POSLANG=2 # English is default language" shows you that "English" is embedded as a default language.

• Overwrite the number with the one of the desired language (as it is stored in the system). A list of the numbers and languages can be found in the chapter Embedding a new Language in the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application. (If you opened the file to be edited via vi, characters can be deleted via the command <ESC> x and inserted via <ESC> i.)
• Save your entries and leave the editor (with vi: <ESC> : wq).
• The change of the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS default language is complete.
• Note:
  Via the Language Selection Panel in the Program Dispatch, you can change the language any time you like. The setting will last until you select another language or end the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application and rerun it.
