To modify a Language's attributes, bring up the Language Properties dialog, by clicking on the Properties speedbutton in the Tokens Manager.

The Language Name is a string of 30 characters maximum.
Display Font : You will rarely need to change the Display Font. It is used whenever you are dealing with East European or Scandinavian languages and you need to have access to non-keyboard characters to enter text for holidays, saints or tokentranslations. The Display Font only affects what is displayed to you when you enter the name of a holiday or the translation for a given token, and does not affect the Output File in any way. The fonts used in your GridTemplate will be the fonts that appear in the Output File.
Capitalization Options : This setting allows you to fine-tune the way Q++ capitalizes (makes into uppercase) letters when converting tokens that specify some form of capitalization, such as [Dddd] and [MMMM]. The 4 possible options are:
None (normal capitalization) |
This is the default, where capitalization is performed by Windows, using the font's internal encoding. This is usually the best method to use. |
Ignore Caps |
Use this option to indicate to Q++ that it should ignore the case implied by tokens, and simply use the translation supplied in the Tokens Manager. For example, if this option is set to true, the tokens [Mmmm], [MMMM] would be converted the same way as [mmmm]. This option is useful for languages that use special fonts, such as Chinese, where the concept of an uppercase character has no meaning. |
Use accented uppercase letters |
Use this option to indicate to Q++ if uppercase letters of tokens of this language should have accents of not, for example : Ä, Ö, É. |
Use Fonts Capitalization table |
Use this option to indicate to Q++ that it should use a Capitalization Table, whenever a token's structure indicates that part or all of a token's translation should be uppercase. This is useful if you are using fonts for Eastern European languages that are not properly encoded, and where the lowercase/uppercase mapping is incorrect. If you set this option to true : you must make sure that the Display Font selected above matches the incorrect font that will be used. This option causes somewhat of a slowdown of diary generation. |
Use Turkish Capitalization |
Use this option for any language that uses the Turkish alphabet which has 2 letters for "i": a dot-less one that uppercases to the usual Western dot-less capital "i", and a normal western lowercase "i" that capitalizes to a special Turkish dotted uppercase "i". |
The Parent Language is determined by the language selected when you click on the NEW button. You cannot modify the parent of a language once it has been created.
