QAD Standard Edition is available in a number of different languages. Each language is identified by a two-letter language code. You can use this code to associate different language displays with different users in a multiple-language environment.

In the QAD .NET UI, language affects the fields and menus for maintenance screens, telnet screens, browses, report output, and administrative functions such as Connection Manager.

Information required to establish the user locale is retrieved from two external data files: locale.dat and encoding.dat. Both files are located in the mfgpro directory on the release CD. After installation, they are located in QADInstallDir.

The data in these files is used in conjunction with details about the user defined in User Maintenance.
