User Guide > Projects > Project Settings > The Localization tab

The Localization tab of the «Project Settings» dialog is used to add support for different languages to your Autorun CD application.

This settings available for Professional Edition only.

If you want to create autorun CD  with support of several languages select the "Enable localization support for project" option .

Use "Localize non-text resources" option to set different non-text properties of objects (such as "filename" in Texture image properties, filename and command line in a File/Folder action, URL in  an Open URL action , etc) for each language.

Use Language name edit field and Add, Delete, Rename buttons to create a list  of the languages which will be used in your Autorun CD application.

Specify default language at project start.

You can change the active language at run time using Changing language action.

How it works?

When you build the project  Autoplay Menu Designer generate LANGUAGE files <Language name>.lng that contains all text from your project. Files locate in the Resources Folder .

LANGUAGE file syntax:

[SectionName]

"Key"="Value"

Key - sources text

Value - translated text

You should translate the text on the right of '=' char for all lines in the language(lng) files for correct work of localization.

For multiple strings messages use '\r\n' symbol for next line switching.

If a text contain a symbol  "=", it changes into "%3D".

If a text contain a symbol  "%", it changes into "%%".

If you want to make Value string empty use $(none) as value.

If you want to hide text object on the page use $(hide) as value.

!!! IMPORTANT !!!

1. DON'T USE SPACES BETWEEN KEY, =, AND VALUE

2. DON'T REMOVE \t SYMBOL!!!

Autoplay Menu Designer will preserve already translated text when you will build the project next time.
