- 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.
