Foreign Language Translations ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ArcLink5 supports foreign languages by providing multiple 'Messages' and 'Templates' files for each country supported. Each country definition consists of a directory (up to 10 characters) called the same as the country (as shown by *COUNTRIES) containing a messages file and a Templates file. Both files need to be present. If not, ArcLink5 will default to the UK version. It is impossible to check for the existence of every single message, so if you are creating alternative translations, please ensure that all messages are catered for, otherwise some menus/messages will be blank and/or cause ArcLink5 to halt with unexpected errors. If you edit (or create) additional country definitions please follow these conventions, and please send a copy back to me so that I may update the master copies. Thank you. N.B. If editing the original (UK) Templates file, please ensure that all icon numbers and lengths (indirected icon data) stay the same. If not, ArcLink5 may halt with unexpected errors. ŠPaul Vigay, 1998
