Platform Settings: Locale Tab (Windows CE 5.0)
On this tab, you can configure the localization options for your OS design to create a locale-specific run-time image.
For more information about this dialog box, see Platform Settings Dialog Box.
Locales
Displays the names of valid locales that you can choose to localize your OS design in.If a locale is selected and an available default ANSI and OEM code page is associated with the locale, the code page is pulled into your OS design.
You can add and remove locales from the default selection.
For information about the available locales, see Language Identifiers and Locales.
Default Language
Displays the languages currently selected from the Locales list.If you choose a default language in which to localize your OS design, you must include the associated localized folder structure files, which include run-time image configuration files.
If these are unavailable, the build system defaults to the LCID code page 0409, United States English, for the system and user locale.
For more information, see OS Localization.
Codepages
Displays the list of supported ANSI and OEM code pages.By default, selected locales are associated with the default ANSI and OEM code pages.
You can add additional code pages to your localized OS design, but you cannot remove a locale from your OS design by clearing the check box for the associated code page. Remove a locale from your OS design by clearing the associated check box in the Locale field.
For information about the available code pages, see Code Pages.
Localize the Build
Select to ensure localization of the run-time image.If localizable resources are missing, the build process generates errors during the Make Run-Time Image phase. In these instances, default LCID 0409 resources are used to generate a localized image.
If this check box is not selected, the build system pulls in resources based on the default LCID 0409 locale. This results in a run-time image which has a United States English user interface, but which has the functionality of your target default locale.
Strict Localization Checking in Build
Select to choose strict localization, which requires that all localizable files be available during the Make Run-Time Image phase.If this option is selected and a localized module is not found, the build process fails to generate a run-time image.
