Project Localization
Tip: Make sure that the font you select is also installed on any computers or devices that will
run as project runtime clients. If you cannot do this — in other words, if you do not control all of
the potential clients — then select a "standard" font that is commonly installed on all platforms.
9. In the Target Size column, type the font size (in either points or percentage) to which the Source Size should be
changed. If you want to leave the Source Size unchanged, type *.
10.In the Target Style column, select the font style to which the Source Style should be changed. If you want to
leave the Source Style unchanged, select *.
11.In the Target RTL column, select the reading direction (left-to-right or right-to-left) to which the Source RTL
should be changed. If you want to leave the Source RTL unchanged, select *.
12.Repeat this procedure for additional rows, if necessary.
13.Click OK to save the configuration and close the dialog box.
When you set your project's interface to the target language, the translated text items will be changed to the
new configuration.
Examples of font configuration
The Font Configuration tool included in the Translation Table worksheet
Example #1
You are using ten different fonts in your project and they all have different font sizes. You have added Chinese
as a target language in your Translation Table, so when you set it as the language for your project interface,
you also want to convert all text items to a font that supports the Chinese character set.
You would create the following configuration using the Font Configuration tool:
Object Source Font Source
Size
Source
Style
Source
RTL
Target Font
(All) (All) (All) (All) (All) Arial
Unicode MS
Target
Size
Target
Style
Target
RTL
* * *
The * configured in the Target columns means that the original settings should be kept. In other words, if you
have two texts with different sizes, then the font type will be changed to Arial Unicode MS (a general-purpose
font that includes all Unicode character sets, including Chinese) but the font sizes will not be changed.
Example #2
You are using a single font type in your project, but it has different font sizes depending on where and how
it is used. You have added German as a target language in your Translation Table; words tend to be much
longer in German, so you when you set it as the language for your project interface, you also want to decrease
the font sizes to make sure the translated text items fit within their screen objects.
You would create the following configuration using the Font Configuration tool:
Object Source Font Source
Size
Source
Style
Source
RTL
Target Font
(All) (All) (All) (All) (All) * 80% * *
Under this configuration, it does not matter how many fonts you are using or what their specific sizes are.
They will all be proportionately decreased to 80% of their original sizes.
Example #3
You have added Arabic as a target language in your Translation Table, but you have also decided not to
translate your button labels. Therefore, you want to convert all objects except buttons to a font that supports
the Arabic character set, and you also want to change the reading direction from left-to-right (default) to rightto-left.
You would create the following configuration using the Font Configuration tool:
Target
