Step 2: Changing the Localization Tables Default Data

The mmLocalize.sql script not only creates the localization table structures, it also adds default records to each table. For example, the Language table contains the following record:

If your original development language is not English, simply can change the description from "English" to your language instead (such as "German", "Spanish", "French", and so on).

The Message table contains a number of records containing message text used at the MM .NET Framework level. For example:

If your original language is not English, you can translate the MessageText field of these records to your language instead.

In addition, you should add all of your application-specific message box text to the Message table and use the MM .NET localization-aware mmMessageBox to display these messages. Note that you should set the DialogText field of the Message table to one (1) for all message text. Setting this field to 1 indicates to MM .NET that the text should be included in the list when localizing system messages.
