This section describes how to use the Map Name Editor. See the following sections for more information:

To Create a New Language File

Start Windows Explorer.
Create a folder named Languages in the following location:
- 32-bit: C:\Program Files\Curious Software\Curious World Maps\SharedData
- 64-bit: C:\Program Files\vizrt\Viz World\SharedData
In the folder, you can either place an empty file called <my language>.mdx or copy and rename UserNames.mdx (if you already have changed a lot of the label names).
Start the Map Name Editor executable (64-bit) found under: C:\Program Files\vizrt\Viz World
Edit the new file. Your language is added as a new column.
Click Save Changes.

To Add language Specific Translations

Start the Map Name Editor.
Connect to your Viz World Server.
Right-click and select your language column representing your custom language file.
Search for the name that needs a language specific translation.
Enter the translation and click Save Changes.

Start the Server Configuration tool and log on to your Viz World Server.
Select the Maps’ Display section.
Set the Alternate Label Display’s first option to be M-Language (multi-language).
Start for example Viz Artist, create a maps scene and launch the Map Editor (WME).
Right-click the map area and select your language from the appearing context menu.

Note: Setting a language in WME does not affect the language used in Viz Artist.
For Viz Artist add/edit the VizWorld.ini file under C:\ProgramData\Vizrt\VizEngine\Maps and add the following entry:

language=[my Language ID]
or (dynamically) send the following command to Viz Engine:

MAPS LANGUAGE [my Language ID]

Note: my Language ID refers to the order in the list of languages, English = 0, Norwegian = 1, etc. See the above screenshot.
