Message File Handling
The Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager provides a mechanism of handling message files to support localization.
The localized message files can have one of the following headers for Unicode encoding:
• UTF-8 with a BOM
• UTF-16 BE with a BOM
• UTF-16 LE with a BOM
If the message file does not have any of the above BOM headers, it follows the default encoding such as:
• European: ISO 8859 – 1
• Japanese: SJIS
The message files are processed according to the language string specified in the Java locale.
When you set a value for the language (LANG) in the Java locale and then start Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager, Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager searches for the language-specific message files in four locations. For example, if you set the value of LANG to no_NO_NY, Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager searches for message files in the following locations, in the decreasing order of priority:
• lib/nls/msg/no_NO_NY/model.msg
• lib/nls/msg/no_NO/model.msg
• lib/nls/msg/no/model.msg
• lib/nls/msg/C/model.msg
