WordPerfect 5.1 DOS Language Module Installation Information
Before installing a WordPerfect 5.1 Language Module, determine the name of the directory that contains the WP.EXE file. Also, go into WordPerfect, select the Location of Files feature (Shift-F1, 6) and make a note of the path names for the Keyboard/Macro and Main Thesaurus/Speller/Hyphenation directories. The Language Module Installation program will prompt for this information.

       If no directory is specified for the keyboard/macro files, the directory is the default directory. If no directory is specified for the main thesaurus/speller/hyphenation files, the directory is the same directory that contains the WP.EXE file.

To install the Language Module:
1.      Insert the Language Module 1 diskette into drive A:
2.      Go to the DOS prompt
3.      Enter A: to change to the A> prompt
4.      Enter LMINSTAL at the A> prompt
5.      Respond to the prompts as directed


Keyboards

Most WordPerfect 5.1 Language Modules include a keyboard driver to assign or "map" characters that are specific to that language to your keyboard keys. The Language Module keyboard layout is based on the IBM standard keyboard layout for that language. You can also modify this keyboard definition or create one of your own (see Keyboard Layout in the WordPerfect Reference Manual).

To select a keyboard layout
1.      Press Setup (Shift-F1)
2.      Select Keyboard Layout (5)
3.      Move the cursor to the keyboard layout provided with the Language Module, then choose Select (1) to select it
4.      Press Exit (F7) to return to the normal editing screen


Language Code

To use the Language Module Speller, Thesaurus, or Hyphenation tools, a Language Code must be placed either in the Document Initial Codes or at the top of the document. If the Language Code is not in either place, the Writing Tools will not find the appropriate Writing Tool files for that language and will default to the default language.
      
To Insert a Language Code
1.      Press Shift+F8 | Other (4)| Language (4)
2.      Type the correct Language Code for the Language Module. (Ex. FR-French)


To Insert a Language Code In Document Initial Codes
1.      Press Shift+F8 | Document (3) | Initial Codes (2)
2.      From the Initial Codes screen press Shift+F8 again.
3.      Then choose Other (4) | Language (4) and type the correct Language Code.
