Changing the Source Language
Changing the source language for generated text is simple- just add the new value into the Source Language field of the Stylesheet Properties dialog box. You do need to be aware of the implications. Arbortext Styler will validate your choice when you click OK to save the change and exit the Stylesheet Properties dialog box:
Changing the value of Source Language to a new value that is not a target language - this is a valid action and you will see a dialog box that asks you to confirm it.
Changing the value of Source Language to a value that is a target language of any module in the stylesheet - you will see a warning message that the new value is not valid. All modules in the stylesheet must have the same source language. Return to the Stylesheet Properties dialog box and make the necessary changes.
Replacing the source language with a previous target language that has complete and current translations - this is a valid action and you will see a dialog box that asks you to confirm it.
Replace the source language with a previous target language that is not completely translated - you will see a warning message that the target language cannot become the source language because it is not translated. The new source language must have a full set of translations or generated text for the document will be incomplete when the language change is made. Return to the Stylesheet Properties dialog box and make the necessary changes.
Refer to Converting a Target Language into the Source Language for information on changing the source language to one of the target languages already set.
