Selecting a language for the aPriori interface

The aPriori interface can be displayed in English, German, or (in SP1 and later) French. English is used unless your Microsoft Windows locale is set to Germany or France. You can set the Windows locale for your machine, or just for aPriori.

Note There are some minor limitations when using the foreign-language versions of aPriori. Certain items are not translated, including the names of specific VPE items, such as materials and machines, Excel report column headings, and certain costing error windows and messages. You can obtain a complete list of these items from aPriori Support. If your company is interested in making aPriori available in other languages, please contact aPriori Support.
