Translator III > The Module pull-down menu

Each lexicon contains 20 languages. All of them might not be in use, but they are always there.

The lexicon is stored in a Unicode xBase database file. Each language has its own field (column) in that database table. The field names are LANGUAGE00, LANGUAGE01 … LANGUAGE18, LANGUAGE19.

Which field to use for which language is something that you can define yourself. The language name used for each field (column) is easy to change according to your own wishes.

To do that, you use the Edit languages… command in the Module pull-down menu. A dialogue box is then displayed, where the current settings for the current lexicon are shown.

To change a language name, please first select it.
