Demand Planning Localization

Language Dependent Files

The following files contains sections that must be translated to other languages, i.e. files not handled by IFS/Localization:

All window descriptions in HTML format must be manually translated. (Remember the Applet help file DemandAppletHelpSTD.htm See Installing the Applet for details about the naming a directory to place the translated version of this file)
Demand.ins must be translated manually, this is the file where all the possible group fields are stored. The description of these fields should be translated.

Localization Notes

This product contains three files (DemandApplet.xml, DemandClient.xml and DemandServer.xml) for applet, client and server localizable texts. These files can be scanned into IFS Localization by using the localization tool's "Script Wizard". See Setting up the Applet for details about naming a directory to put the translated version of the applet XML file.

Double byte languages

For double languages like Japanese, the fonts used in the demand plan client and server must be changed from something other than the default fonts. These fonts are changed from the registry. Here is the list over font name entries in the Client and Server.

Demand Plan Client

All entries are found in registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IFS\ForecastClient\Fonts\. The fonts are:

Key name	Default	Description
ComboEditFont	14,MS Sans Serif	Fonts used in combo-boxes
DetailViewFont	8,MS Sans Serif	Fonts in detail view
DockableHeadingFont	12,Arial	Heading font in dockable combos Horisontal
DockableHeadingFontV	12,Arial	Heading font in dockable combos Vertical
LabelFont	10,Small Font	Graph label font
LegendFont	14,Courier New	Font used in graph legend
ListFont	14,MS Sans Serif	Font in list-boxes
StandardFont	8,MS Sans Serif	Font used in all dialog boxes
TabelFont	8,MS Sans Serif	Font used in tables
ToolTipFont	14,Courier New	Font used in tool tip

Note: that you also need to specify the charset for Japanese (128) in the registry, set the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IFS\ForecastClient\Directories\TableFontCharSet equal to 128 instead of -1 which is the default.

Demand Plan Server

All entries are found in registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\IFS\ForecastServer\Fonts\. The fonts are:

Key name	Default	Description
StandardFont	8,MS Sans Serif	Font used in all dialog boxes

The font names have the structure of size, font name. The defaults will be set automatically when you install demand plan.

To change to double byte you must select the fonts that match the language you are translating into e.g. Japanese fonts. To make this easier/possible to install for the users we recommend that creating a registry file with the correct fonts along with the applicable language files. There is DefaultClientFonts.reg and DefaultServerFonts.reg files in the core release to set the fonts to the default values shown above. Note that the menu texts follow the windows setup (Appearance).
