Change interface language

The user interface language is determined by the choice of the current language in the settings dialog and the definitions in the file SpbVipTools\Bin\LanguageWSM.xml.

Definitions of language phrases for the user interface must be given before selecting the current language in the settings dialog.
An example of the definition of language phrases is given below.

  <row10 comment = "Central bottom StatusBar">
    <eng> Total ready </ eng>
    <rus> Всего готово </ rus>
  </ row10>

The key to finding the phrase is the name of the tag (here it is row10). The Comment attribute is explanatory and can be any phrase.
The set of languages currently supported should be defined in the xml phrase
  <lng dk = "Dansk" eng = "English" rus = "Russian" />
Accordingly, the attribute name (dk, eng, rus) is used to indicate the translation of a phrase in the file SpbVipTools\Bin\LanguageWSM.xml, and the attribute value appears as a menu item in the settings dialog.
Using the definitions of the SpbVipTools\Bin\LanguageWSM.xml file, you can set denotations that are convenient for you or determine the language that is most comfortable for you.

To change the language

call the settings dialog (button "Options" of the control panel)
select the Misc panel

In the list of available languages (UI Lnaguage), select one of the languages defined in the file SpbVipTools\Bin\LanguageWSM.xml.

The interface language changes immediately upon closing the dialog.
When you close the application, the installation of the selected language is saved.
