The Rational® Publishing Engine launcher
allows you to generate documents in different languages.
Before you begin
You created templates with different languages and created
their corresponding document specifications.
About this task
Language specifications are checked in the following order:
- Template translation property
- Output locale property in the Document Specification metadata
- System locale
If the template translation property and the output locale property
are not set, the document generation uses the system locale language.

the translation property and select the required
language. The language list displays based on the language
of the template.
- Repeat for each template.
- If you choose a language that is a bidirectional language,
such as Hebrew or Arabic, set the bidi property
for each output format.
- In the Document Specification view,
select an output format. Example: Target:
