Language Compatibility
Unicode Support for Languages
Pro Tools supports entry and display of any lan-
guage characters supported in Unicode anywhere
in the Pro Tools application. This lets you:
• Use multiple languages in session names, and in
path names, file names and clip names within
the same session.
• Search for terms in multiple languages in
DigiBase browsers.
Pro Tools Automatic Naming
Language
When working in a language other than English,
you can set Pro Tools to automatically name ses-
sion elements (such as clips, tracks, and I/O paths)
in English. This is useful when sharing sessions
with other users working in English.
To set the Automatic Naming Language to match
the language selected for the Pro Tools
application:
1 Choose Setup > Preferences and click the Dis-
play
tab.
2 Choose the language you want to use in
Pro Tools from the
Language pop-up menu.
3 Deselect the Default Automatic Naming to
English
option.
