Use the Languages and Translations Manager, from the data menu, or the corresponding toolbar shortcut shown on the right, to create and modify the languages used and their translations.

Languages hierarchy

If a set of translations, either for a client, or a different national market, differs slightly from an existing language, you can create a child language and you only need to define the differing translations.

If a translation is not found for a particular token in a language, the system will look for that translation in the language's parent, and so on and so forth until it reaches the root language, Q++Defaults.

The user interface

On the left of the Languages and Translations Manager, languages are displayed in a TreeView.

A row of buttons at the top let you add or delete languages, or modify the properties of a language.

On the left of the Languages and Translations Manager, there are 2 tabs which can be used to see an overview of the currently selected language and to add or modify token translations, or create user-defined tokens.
