<Language>

<Language> == <Name>
The language code.

The language code and its value are read into the program at its start from the Stock List file.   The values and their meanings are at present:

N Default
E English
G German
H Hungarian
P Polish
F French
NL Dutch

The language codes were taken from the international vehicle registration codes. On the most places WTraffic understands also the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes too.

The default language defines the text for those languages, for which a translation is missing, and on the webpage - for WTraffic and the Picture Collection - for those, who haven't choosed a language. Therefore the English text is often given as the default translation instead of the English one. But in case of some geographical names and company names the N= default language text uses the local name, when it is not identical with the english name.

There is a built-in dialog window for translating the texts, nevertheless to translate the program texts and several other texts contained in the stock list (label tree, technical data category, value set names, free descriptive texts) is a big work. If you would like to translate the program texts into another language or extend an existing, but incomplete translation, please contact the author to receive a new language code and to coordinate the work .
