Language Parameters

The Language Parameters system table lets you set the current language for a KB. The current language may be different than the default language, as described under Setting the Current Language.

Specifying the Current Language

The Current-language attribute specifies the default language for a KB. This language can be overridden by users accessing G2 through Telewindows and either specifying another language as a command line option, or changing the default language for the G2 window.

For a description of using command line options, see Appendix A, Launching a G2 Process. For an explanation of specifying a language for a G2 window, see Supporting a Window-Specific Language.

Using a Text-conversion-style

You can specify the name of a Text-conversion-style item in the attribute of the same name. Specifying a particular item in this attribute causes G2 to use that conversion style globally for all its subsequent text conversion requirements.

For a complete description of text-conversion-style items, see Working With Text Conversion Styles.
