Specifying the Language in the Get Info Dialog Box (Macintosh Only)
If you are attempting to enter text within your Avid application and you are not seeing characters from your language, you need to specify the language in the application's Resources folder.

You do not need to perform this procedure if all of your language's
characters appear correctly in the Avid application.
|
To specify the languages in the Get Info dialog box:
1. | |
Locate the Avid editing application on your Macintosh HD. For
example:
|
Applications/Avid Xpress Pro/Avid Xpress Pro
2. | |
Click the application icon, and select File > Get Info.
|
The Get application Info dialog box opens.
3. | |
Click the triangular opener for Languages.
|
4. | |
Locate your language in the list and select it if it is not already
selected.
|
5. | |
Close the Get application Info dialog box.
|
The next time you start the application, you will be using the language
that you specified in the International window. System menus and
dialog boxes appear in your selected language. The Avid menus and
buttons still appear in English. You can now enter characters in your
selected language.
The Get Info dialog box makes use of files known as language
resource files to specify the language and regional code to use. The
Avid software installation program automatically installs a set of
language resource files for supported languages.
