Editing the Language Master

The language master is an integral part of the delta process and translation tools. The delta process uses the language master to define which status records are maintained during the change process. To use all of the necessary tools, you also need code page mapping information and other setup information.

Access the Translation Tools Language Master form.

1. Edit the records for the appropriate languages that match the status records in the compare environment.

   Any languages that are missing status records, or any status record without a language master corrupts the database when you run the delta process.

   During the copy, languages should exist from the data for the previous release.

2. Verify and edit the correct record or records for these fields, and then click OK:

   • Code Page

     This value comes from user-defined code table H79/CP.

   • L

   • MS Word Language ID

   • Code Page

     This value is the code page data source.

     Note: Complete all of the preceding tasks before you run the delta process for the first time. You should verify the environments and data sources for accuracy, especially code page conversions for all languages. Ensure that users are able to enter the compare environment and edit changes before running the delta process.
