2.3

Localization considerations

You may license AMS Machinery Manager software in English or a localized

(translated) version. You must specify a language at the time you purchase your software licenses. Only the language you license will be on your software installation DVD. Follow these guidelines when preparing to install a localized version of AMS Machinery Manager.

Note

You may need to change your computer name before installing AMS

Machinery Manager. A valid computer name can have numbers 0-9, uppercase and lowercase letters A-Z, and the hyphen (-). Special characters

(< > ; : " * + = \ | ? ,), accented characters, and other multibyte characters in a computer name can cause problems and interfere with a successful installation of AMS Machinery Manager software. Computer names cannot have only numbers, nor can they contain spaces.

Recommendations for Windows without Multilingual User Interface

(MUI) support

• Installing localized AMS Machinery Manager is supported on a Windows system of the same language with default regional settings. For example, install AMS Machinery Manager (German) on Windows

(German).

• Installing localized AMS Machinery Manager on an English Windows system is not recommended. If you install localized AMS Machinery

Manager on Windows (English), text may not display properly.

• When you upgrade AMS Machinery Manager, the language must match the currently installed AMS Machinery Manager language. For example, update AMS Machinery Managerv5.7 (German) to AMS Machinery

Manager v5.71 (German). To change the AMS Machinery Manager language you need a full installation instead of an upgrade.

• Avoid changing Windows regional settings. Changes may cause unexpected behavior in AMS Machinery Manager.

• Installing English AMS Machinery Manager on a non-English Windows system is supported for Windows (Japanese) only.

Recommendations for Windows with Multilingual User Interface (MUI) support

• Installing localized AMS Machinery Manager on a Windows system where the matching language pack and regional settings have already been installed. For example, install AMS Machinery Manager (German) on

Windows after installing the German language pack.

• When you upgrade AMS Machinery Manager, the language must match the currently installed AMS Machinery Manager language. For example, update AMS Machinery Managerv5.7 (German) to AMS Machinery

Manager v5.71 (German). To change the AMS Machinery Manager language you need a full installation instead of an upgrade.

• One language of AMS Machinery Manager is available per installation. If you change your regional settings or language pack after installing AMS

Machinery Manager, strings may not display properly. Use the regional settings and language pack that match the language you licensed for

AMS Machinery Manager.
