Localization Notes

This product contains files (DemandClient.xml and DemandServer.xml) for client and server localizable texts.

Double byte languages

For double languages like Japanese, the fonts used in the demand plan client and server must be changed from something other than the default fonts. These fonts are changed from the registry. Here is the list over font name entries in the Client and Server.

Demand Plan Client

All entries are found in registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IFS\ForecastClient\Fonts\. The fonts are:

Demand Plan Server

When running as a service there is nothing to change here. If you are running it as an windows application you can change the font settings in the Advanced Server Settings page in IFS Cloud Web.

.

Default setting is 8,MS Sans Serif. Change to double byte you must select the fonts that match the language you are translating into e.g. Japanese fonts.).
