Setting the Default Language for the Project

When you create your project, Mobile Development adds your system language to your Mobile Project as a language your application supports. If needed, you can add or remove languages your application supports.

Note:

If you want to change the default language, see Setting the Default Language for the Project.

To add or remove languages that your application supports

1. Ensure the Mobile Project for which you want to manage languages is open in the Outline Editor. For instructions, see Displaying a Mobile Project in the Outline Editor.

2. In the Model section of the Outline Editor, expand your Mobile Project’s Languages container node.

3. To add a language, do the following:

a. Right-click the Languages container node and select New Child > Language.

b. Select the Language node you just added.

c. In the Properties section of the Outline Editor, specify the following properties:

For this property...	Specify...
Directionality	Direction to use for the language. Select one of the following: L2R for left-to-right R2L for right-to-left
Short Name	Abbreviation for the language, for example, “en”. Use the two-character language code defined by the ISO-639 standard.

4. To remove a language, in the Model section of the Outline Editor, right-click the language you want to remove and select Delete.

Alternatively, you can select the language and press the DELETE key.
