LDM Messages › Provide Language Support

Provide Language Support

By default, the products display message text in English.

To display messages in a different language

1. Provide a new member for your translated messages.
2. Copy the messages into the replacement member.
3. Translate the messages in your replacement member.

   Instructions in the message table tell you how to identify variables, how to concatenate lines, and so on.

4. On the TABLE statement for the translated messages:
   • Identify the language you are using through the LANGUAGE parameter.
   • Specify the DEFAULT parameter. (For example, to display CA Bundl messages in French by default, specify TABLE BUNDLTAB LANGUAGE=FRENCH DEFAULT.)
5. On the TABLE statement for the English-version messages, remove the DEFAULT parameter.
6. Identify your replacement member to CA-L-Serv.

Note: Some CA-L-Serv messages can be displayed in the client application's logs. If you translate a client application's messages, you should also translate CA-L-Serv's messages.
