Installing second language support

Meridian user interface support for the English language is built in. If you want to install support for a second language, you can do so two ways:

• Select the language from the setup program during installation (setup.exe only)
• Use the TRANSFORMS argument with the command line (.msi files only) to specify the support file that corresponds to the language that you want to install. You may only install support for one language other than English. See the following table for the filenames of the language support files. For more information about using the command line, see About the command-line switches.

You may not install a second language after the initial installation. After you have installed support for a non-English language, you can switch between that language and English and vice versa. Support for the English language does not require separate installation.

Note    Language support only applies to the user interface. Document content and metadata is not affected and remain in the original language.

To switch from a non-English language to English:

1. Install support for the non-English language using one of the methods at the beginning of this topic.

2. Modify the default Language value in the following registry keys:

   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cyco\Meridian Enterprise\CurrentVersion
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cyco\AutoManager View Control2

   The default is the language that was selected during installation. Set the value to Eng. You may then switch back to the non-English language by setting the value back to the default (the corresponding language string in the following table). This sets the language the current user of the PC.

3. Restart Application Integration (AMHookTray.exe) for the change to take effect there.

To switch from one non-English language to another non-English language:

1. Install support for the first non-English language using one of the methods at the beginning of this topic
2. Install support for the second non-English language on a different computer using one of the methods at the beginning of this topic.
3. Copy the support files for the second language to the computer where you want to switch languages. The files are those with names that begin with the language string in the following table (for example, FRE*.* for French). Copy the files from the 32-bit program folder (by default, C:\Program Files (x86)\BC-Meridian\Program) and from the Cyco Shared folder (by default, C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Cyco Shared). Do this for either the 32-bit or the 64-bit versions. The 64-bit version does not have its own language supported files, but uses the 32-bit files.
4. Modify the registry value as described in the preceding task.
5. Restart Application Integration (AMHookTray.exe) for the change to take effect there.

To set the language for all users of the same computer (for example, a remote session host), modify the default Language value in the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cyco\Meridian Enterprise\CurrentVersion

This value overrides the value in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive.

Installation files for language support can be found in the same folder as the setup package (.msi) file. The language support files are named according to the Windows locale codes. Meridian currently supports the following languages:

1046.mst

1033.mst

1035.mst

1036.mst

1031.mst

1040.mst

1041.mst
