Can I use PlanetPress Watch/Server in various languages and can I enter information in any language?
PlanetPress Watch/Server can be used in any of the five following languages: English, French, Spanish,
German, or Japanese. The first time you use PlanetPress Watch/Server, it starts in the language used for the
installation. You may change this setting as often as you like, but you need to restart the application every
time you do so.
If you plan to enter and process information in non-European languages, you should know that PlanetPress
Watch uses codepages when storing and retrieving information (a codepage is a mapping used to convert
back and forth the letters and numbers used by humans to the numeric characters used by computers). By
default, codepage 1252 is used for Latin languages (good for Afrikaans, Basque, Catalan, Danish, Dutch,
English, Faroese, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Malay, Norwegian,
Portuguese, Spanish, Swahili and Swedish) and codepage 932 is used for Japanese.
If your system is set up to accept information in other languages (as defined in the Regional and Language
Options of the Windows Control Panel), you may now select the Use System Default Locale option to mirror
those settings (this option is only valid when PlanetPress Watch/Server itself is used in English.
