You can use National Language Support (NLS) elements to
change the language that is used to display text on widgets.
Procedure
The Label, Button, and Link widgets possess the text
and hint properties, which are supported by NLS. Therefore users have
the ability to update the language for any of the widgets which are
supported by NLS. Below is a brief overview of how these widgets are
supported by NLS, where the following procedures can be used:
- In the XUI editor, select a Button or a Label widget.
- In the Properties view of the Button
or the Label widget, click Browse in the Value column
of the text property. The "Please
select an NLS file" window is displayed.
- In the "Please select an NLS file"
window, select an NLS file, and then select an NLS element from the NLS
Elements list.
Note: In this example you will be using English
and Mandarin to change the text on this button.
