In the language settings you can define the languages the user can choose from in the application, furthermore you can deposit a disclaimer, an image for the start-up screen, a logo and help for each language and edit all visible texts of the application.

 

Left side: Select up to four languages which are to be displayed in the Express Start Window. You can change the sequence of the languages by using the four buttons next to the list.

 

On the right side of the window you can edit the text of the application,  the mouse over information is not included. Furthermore files for the Disclaimer, Start-up screen, Toolbar Logo and Help can be set for each language.

 

It is also possible to import and export individual language settings and strings.

 

To change texts and files of a language simply click on one of the selected languages on the left side, the flag of the selected language will then appear on the right side. All changes made only affect the selected language.

2.4.1 Files

• Disclaimer: If you have activated the option Show disclaimer at the beginning in the Express Settings, then a disclaimer has to be selected here. You can either complete the stored document or use a different/individual text.

 

• Startup Screen: The right side of the startup screen can also be customized, simply replace the stored PNG file with a different image (PNG or JPEG, for example with scan instructions or your logo).

 

• Toolbar Logo: Change the logo shown in the selected toolbar configuration by replacing the image.

 

• Help-filename: If you have activated Show Help in the Express Settings then you can select your custom help (eg with scan tips and function explanations) here. You can also use the document provided by us which explains each function (Icon) .

2.4.2 Edit (visible) texts

You can edit all visible texts of the BCS-2 Express Application; the texts are always language specific. Double click on the text you wish to edit and the dialog Edit text for key… will appear.

The text presented in the upper half of the window is the text that can be edited; the text beneath is the default text which cannot be changed. You can select the language of the default text from the dropdown menu “Reference Languages”. If you want to edit all or most of the texts you can use the buttons on the left side to navigate from string to string instead of closing the window and reopening it for each change. Note: The tool-tips are never affected and cannot be changed.
