Multi-Language
The default language built-in to DNC Server is English.
DNC has full Unicode support for user interface and editor. (Serial port communication is still only
ASCII characters because that's what the CNC machines use.)
DNC Multi-Server has the ability to load a user configurable language file that changes all the text
in the user interface.
On Main Menu - Settings - App Settings , there is a dropdown box that lists all the language files in
the user data folder.

Example of using a different language from a DNC Multi-Server Language File:
A language file for DNC Server consists of a text file with an identifier that represents an item on
the interface and the translated string to change it to.
You can see from the included language files how they are arranged and how you can change the
text you want displayed.
You can edit these files in a text editor that supports Unicode characters, like the Windows
NotePad. When saving them in Notepad, make sure you save them with Unicode formatting.
On the left of the equal sign is the item identifier. These show the English text that is used in the
program. After the equal sign is the text that should be substituted instead. Just change the string
after the equal sign to your translation. You cannot add any new item identifiers - these are the
only ones used.
You can make your own language file of any language you want. The file must have a ".lang"
extension. The text in the file must begin with the line: [Language]. You can just copy one of the
existing language files to a new filename and edit it. You must put the file in the User Data
Folder(shown in Settings - App Settings) directory for it to show up on the language list in Settings
(on the Files page ).
The DNCsimplifiedChinese.lang file starts out like this:
Windows Language Support
If all the text in in the buttons and labels are blanks, then it means your computer does not
support for that language installed.
If you have an English language Windows operating system, you may not have Eastern language
support installed. In Windows XP you can install eastern language support by going to Control
Panel - "Regional and Language Options".
Go to the Languages tab:
Check the "Install files for East Asian languages" checkbox and click Apply. It will go through an
installation routine. After it is done, restart computer.
