In a standard installation, you select a language at the
beginning of the process. The BlueZone installation program unzips common.cab,
which contains the language DLLs, and the selected language file is
renamed to bzstring.dll. The information contained
in bzstring.dll is used to populate the BlueZone
menus and dialogs in the selected language.
To switch to a different language without the language.ini file,
you must uninstall and reinstall BlueZone with the new language selected.
Configuring the language.ini file removes the
need to uninstall and reinstall BlueZone with the new language. You
can easily switch between two or more BlueZone supported languages.
Note: Changing
the language with the language.ini file does
not change the keyboard layout; it only affects the menus and dialogs.
If you want to change the keyboard layout to support a specific language,
you must modify the Keyboard Type option in
the Keyboard Options dialog. For more information, refer to the “Keyboard
Options dialog” topic in the BlueZone Display and Printer User's
Guide.
To change the language in the BlueZone menus
and dialogs:
- Open the BlueZone Desktop installation
source directory.
- Open the language.ini file in a text
editor.
- In the [Language] section, locate the ;Language=English entry.
- Delete the semicolon at the beginning of the entry.
- Change English to the new language. The
valid language values are:
- Dutch
- French
- German
- Japanese
For example,
[Language]
Language=French
- Save the language.ini file in the \Config folder
of the BlueZone working directory. For example, C:\Users\username\Documents\BlueZone\Config.
- Open to the BlueZone Desktop installation
source directory and open the common.cab file.
- Extract english.dll and the other
necessary language .dll file, for example french.dll,
to the BlueZone installation directory.
If you accept the default locations during installation,
the installation directory is C:\Program Files\BlueZone\6.2.
When BlueZone starts, it loads the language .dll file
that is specified in the language.ini file.
