Administering Project Languages |
By default, each Dialog Designer project has one default language, until you add another project language. The default language is whatever you define as the program language when you create the project using the Speech Project wizard.
The Dialog Designer default is english. This language is the starting language that Dialog Designer loads at run time for the application to use.
When adding a project language, Dialog Designer creates a new language directory in the project. At the same time, Dialog Designer copies any existing grammar, phrase, and prompt files from the language directory on which you are basing the new package into the new directory. This makes it easier to identify and translate all the grammars, phrases, and prompts for the new language.
Tip:
If you know you are going to need an application to run in two different languages, it is a good idea to wait until the first language version of the project is done before adding a second project language. This ensures that all the required grammars, phrases, and prompts are copied into the new language directory.
Important:
In order for the call flow to use the prompt and grammar resources, it is essential to remember that prompt and grammar files must not be moved or renamed. It is important to remember that each project language must have the same number of prompt and grammar resource files, and the files must have the same names.
For example, suppose you have a project that is based on U.S. English, but you want to localize it for Canadian French. The first step, after finishing the project application, is to add a project language for Canadian French. See Adding a Project Language.
After adding the project language, then, you must go through all the grammars, phrases, and prompts in the Canadian French language resource directory and translate them all from English to French. If you are using audio variables, you must also install the localization bundle for Canadian French. See Installing a Localization Bundle.
As the last step, you must instruct Dialog Designer to use the Canadian French language resources, instead of the English resources. See Changing the Project Default Language.
