Translation
Translation is the process of interpreting and adapting text from one language into another. Although the code itself is not translated, components of the application that are translated may include the following, among others:
-
Graphical user interface (GUI)
-
Error messages
The following components are not usually translated:
-
Documentation (for example, Online Help, Release Notes, Installation Guide, User Guide, Operations Guide)
-
Batch programs and messages
-
Log files
-
Configuration Tools
-
Reports
-
Demo data
-
Training Materials
Most display messages are generated by the core in use or by the
host, in which case they are displayed without change. There are also
some display messages generated by EFTLink itself. These are defined
in LangEN.properties, which is held externally in
the root folder of EFTLink - if necessary, the file in the EFTLink
root folder can be edited.
The EFTLink framework supports several other languages. Setting
EFTLink framework to use one of these is in EftLinkConfig.properties
DisplayLanguage = EN
Possible values include:

Each of these has its own language property file, for example LangDE.properties. The file is held in the root EFTLink
folder where it can be edited.
Note:
The languages that do not use the Latin alphabet have the characters defined in Unicode in their property file. To display messages in Chinese, Japanese or Russian the operating system must support those languages.
Setting the value DisplayLanguage =
in EftlinkConfig.properties will also control
which language a core will use for core specific translations.
