Setting the Display Language

The default aP Pro interface display language is English. You can select a different supported language option by changing the locale settings for either Microsoft Windows or aP Pro.

  • Changes to the Windows settings are global as these settings apply to all applications that Windows manages, including aP Pro.
  • Changes to the aP Pro settings are local as these settings apply only to the aP Pro application.

The table lists the supported language options and the applicable local and global settings.

Configure Windows settings

You can either set your Regional format or your Windows display language.

To set your Regional format:

  1. Open the Windows Settings; for example, use keyboard shortcut Windows key + I.
  2. In the Settings window, click Time & Language.
  3. In the left navigation pane, click Region.
  4. In the Region settings, from the Regional format menu, select a format.
  5. For Japanese, rename the file <aPriori Dir>\WIN64\jdk\jre\lib\fontconfig.properties.src by removing .src suffix, so that the full name of the file is <aPriori Dir>\WIN64\jdk\jre\lib\fontconfig.properties.
  6. Restart aP Pro.

To set your Windows display language:

  2. In the Settings window, click Time & Language.

Configure the aP Pro display interface language

  2. Open the apriori.properties file and add the following line to the file:

    apriori.display.locale=<property_value>

    • Where <property_value> is the apriori.display.locale property value for the preferred language. For potential values, see the Language Options and Settings table.

      For example, to set the language to French, add the following line:

      apriori.display.locale=fr_FR

  3. Save the apriori.properties file.

  4. For Japanese, rename the file <aPriori installation directory>\WIN64\jdk\jre\lib\fontconfig.properties.src by removing .src suffix, so that the full name of the file is <aPriori Dir>\WIN64\jdk\jre\lib\fontconfig.properties.
  5. Restart aP Pro.
