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 found under
- 64 bit: C:\Program Files\vizrt\Viz World
Edit the new file
- Your language will be 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\viz3\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 = 1etc. See the above screenshot.
