Language handling

A StreamServer application can deliver documents in different languages. If, for example, the input consists of invoices in several languages, all these invoices can be managed by the same PageOUT Process.

Code page issues

To be able to handle several languages in the same Project, you must use a code page that applies to all languages in the input.

Input data

The input data is mapped to fields in the Event, and the fields are added to the PageOUT Process. The contents of each field is retrieved from the input, which means you can use the same fields irrespective of the language.

Text labels

In the PageOUT tool, you can add text labels to the output. When you create the labels, you enter the text in the “default language”. This means you must be able to change the text labels dynamically with respect to the language in the input data. For example, if the “default language” is english, and the language in the input data is german, you must dynamically change the text labels to german. To be able to do this, you must use a language file. See Language files.
