Dialect

Use the dialect scoping object for creating bilingual text for models with the Design toolset. Dialect is not scoped for unit or system testing.

Include a scoping dialect in the definition of a subset to:

• Add a dialect (language) type to a model to create bilingual text for business system defaults, exit states, and prompts
• Delete an unused dialect from a model

Once you have defined a new dialect, it is not necessary to scope it to add bilingual text in that language. All dialects in a model are included in your subset definition as part of the default set of objects, if they are not scoped directly.

Note: You must scope a business system (or any object whose expansion includes a business system) to access the dialect functions. Dialects are added using the Dialect Definition option on the Design menu.
