As part of customizing Assignment Manager, you can localize the user interface text for Assignment Manager Server, Assignment Manager Faculty Client, and Assignment Manager Student Client. You can also localize the user interface text that is displayed in setup.

To localize the text for Assignment Manager Server

1. Open AssignmentManagerStrings.txt, located in n:\...\ Assignment Manager Server\Resources\.
2. Change the entries in the file to their translated counterparts.

   For example, change the English BtnCancel=&Cancel to the Spanish BtnCancel=&Cancelar.

3. Run am.bat, also located in n:\...\ Assignment Manager Server\Resources\.
4. In Visual Studio .NET, open Assignment Manager.sln.
5. On the Build menu, choose Build Solution.

Once you have localized the user interface text for the server component, you can then proceed with localizing the text for the two client components.

To localize the text for the Faculty and Student Clients

1. Open AMClientResources.txt, located in n:\...\ Assignment Manager Clients\Resources\.
2. Change the entries in the file to their translated counterparts.

   For example, change the English BtnCancel=&Cancel to the Spanish BtnCancel=&Cancelar.

3. Run bldResources.bat, also located in n:\...\ Assignment Manager Clients\Resources\.
4. In Visual Studio, open AMClients.sln.
5. On the View menu, choose Resource View.
6. Expand the nodes until String Table is visible.
7. Double-click String Table to open the file and then change the entries to their translated counterparts.
8. On the Build menu, choose Build Solution.

Now you can localize the text for the setup UI.

To localize the text for the installation user interface

1. In Visual Studio .NET, open the deployment package you intend to localize: AMsetup.vdproj, FacultyClientSetup.vdproj, or StudentClientSetup.vdproj.
2. In Solution Explorer, select the project.
3. In the Properties window, change the Localization value to the language of your choice.
4. In Solution Explorer, right-click on the project name and choose View and then choose User Interface.
5. Select a dialog in the editor window and then open the Properties window to translate the text for that dialog.
6. When you have finished editing the text for each dialog, rebuild the project.
7. Repeat steps 1-6 for each deployment package.
