Localization
You may display the PTC ALD interface in languages other than English – the following six language versions of the interface are included:
• English (UK)
• English (US)
• French
• German
• Simplified Chinese
• Japanese
There are two ways in which a language option can be applied, all based around the same main command, i.e.-G:, and the same language parameters:
uk
English (UK) – default
us
English (US)
de
German
fr
French
cn
Chinese
ja
Japanese
For example, -G:de will activate the German language version.
1. On startup: add the command, as shown above, to startup file sargsw.3ad. This file will need to be created if it does not already exist.
2. Shortcut: create a shortcut for PTC ALD on your desktop as usual, then edit the properties of the shortcut to include the command and relevant parameter after the name of the executable in the Target field.
For example, to activate the French interface the target might read "C:\Program Files\PTC\Arbortext ALD\ALD.exe" -G:fr. Note that a space separates the second double quote and the command.
Technical documentation and supporting literature is provided in English (UK) only for all 11.1 and later releases.
