Translating the system language

EntraPass Vocabulary Editor is a stand-alone program. You can run it independently, you do not need to launch EntraPass software to run the Vocabulary editor. The Vocabulary Editor program will assist you if you want to translate the software in a language, other than English, French, Spanish Italian or German.

  2. Select one of the available languages and click on New . The system displays the Select language window.
  3. Select the source language for the translation, then click OK . The newly selected language is transferred to the right in the Custom Languages display list.

    Note: You must make sure that the Customdictionnary directories are regularly backed up (C:\ProgramFiles\Kantech\Vocabulary Editor\CustomDictionary\files.xxx.ath) or C:\ProgramFiles\Kantech\”Application type”\CustomDictionary\files.xxx.0
