Dialect Definition

The Dialect Definition tool lets you design multilingual applications for screens in more than one language (each model has a default dialect). Using this tool, you can do the following tasks:

• Add dialects with the Dialect Definition tool and use the Dialect Properties pop-up to define the various properties, including dialect name, the direction the text will flow, separators and the scroll amount.
• Size prompts or literals in one dialect, then change the dialect and resize the prompt or literal in a smaller size without causing spacing problems on the terminal screen.

Note: Multiple dialects are supported in both screen design and window design functionality.

The following table lists other design tools.
