39.4.6 Editing a language configuration file

DITA2Go provides a collection of language configuration files that contain settings for the text of various output headings, labels, and names, in different languages. These files are located in %OMSYSHOME%\d2g\local\lang. You can customize these files with values that are appropriate to your particular needs. Table 39-8 lists the language configuration files you can edit.

Table 39-8 Language configuration files

Language

Editable language configuration file

Czech

local_d2g_lang_cz.ini

German

local_d2g_lang_de.ini

English

local_d2g_lang_en.ini

Spanish

local_d2g_lang_es.ini

French

local_d2g_lang_fr.ini

Russian

local_d2g_lang_ru.ini

The English language configuration file is referenced by the configuration template at the top of the general-configuration chain: %OMSYSHOME%\d2g\system\d2g_config.ini:

[Templates]
Languages=%omsyshome%\d2g\local\lang\local_d2g_lang_en.ini

If you plan to produce output in a language other than English, you can include a reference in your starting configuration file to point to a different language-specific template. For example, to reference the German version, add this setting:

[Templates]
; Languages = path to main language configuration template 
Languages = %OMSYSHOME%\d2g\local\lang\local_d2g_lang_de.ini

This setting will override the default setting in d2g_config.ini.

See §8.10 Localizing output headings, labels, and names.
