Configuring Your Language (LANGUAGE.CFG)

Previous  Top  Next

GPSS jumps from language to language when you type 'j' - rotating languages in the order they appear in LANGUAGE.CFG

The structure of each entry in this file is:

[1st Line Only] No. of default language to use* Language name [comma] numeral [comma] \language directory\

*The first line of just a numeral tells GPSS to start in the language of this number - 0 being English. Using the example LANGUAGE.CFG below, If you want GPSS to start in Afrikaans, replace 0 with 3.

For example:

0

Japanese,1,\japan\

Italian,2,\italian\

Afrikaans,3,\afrikaan\

Assuming that GPSS is running from the C:\GPSS directory, the final position of each language line simply means that, for example, the GPSS sound files recorded in Japanese will be found in the C:\japan directory, Afrikaans in C:\afrikaan, and so on.

The final backslash (\) is required, a peculiarity of the Visual Basic development environment of GPSS.

Spelling counts
The directory name must exactly match the directory name on the computer. For example, a line reading Afrikaans,3,\afrikans\ would fail to direct GPSS to C:\afrikaan.
