Adding Languages

Configuring languages as described in this procedure translates user interface messages on workstations, text labels, options, help text, and error messages in the EMC. You must manually translate menu items, touchscreen buttons, and EMC records.

  1. Select the Enterprise, click Setup, and then click Languages.
  2. Insert a record and enter a name (for example, Spanish).
  3. Double-click the record to open it.
  4. On the General tab, select the language from the Keyboard Type drop-down list.
  5. On the Printing tab, set the following options (if needed):
    • Print Custom Numerals: Select this option to print numerals defined in the Custom Numerals field on the General tab.

    • Asian Characters: Select this option for languages such as Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and Korean where characters are picture-based. When you select this option, characters print double-wide to make them more readable. The order device printer also prints the characters double-wide to maximize readability.

    • Mapping Font: By default, this option is set to Amap. Select Vmap for Thai.

  6. Click the Miscellaneous tab.
  7. Select the language from the Locale String drop-down list.

    See Table 1 – Language Setup Settings for potential setting options for supported languages.

    See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee825488(v=cs.20) for a more detailed listing of language codes.

  8. Select the Local ID from the drop-down list, and then enter the Language Culture corresponding to the language.
