Product:	IMiS/Scan, IMiS/Scan++, IMiS/View, IMiS/View++
Release:	8.3.1108

Case:

This article will explain how to modify IMiS client to load correct language resource file on Windows 7.

Description:

IMiS client is currently translated into four languages (German, Slovenian, Croatian and Bosnian). All this language packs are installed on setup.
When IMiS client is started it loads corresponding language resource file. Language value is obtained from Windows Regional and language options. If German language is selected than imisscan.deu (imisview.deu) language pack is loaded.

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Windows. Imaging Systems cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
IMPORTANT: This article contains information about editing the registry. Before you edit the registry, you should first make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat). Both are hidden files in the Windows folder.
NOTE: For information about how to edit the registry, view the Changing Keys And Values online Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe). Note that you should make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat) before you edit the registry.

On some Windows 7 correct localization does not work. Language pack is not loaded when IMiS client is started. Only solution is to manually add new value in Windows registry.
1. Open registry
2. in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" key add key "Software\CodeGear\Locales"
3. in that key add string with the full path to the IMiS client installation
4. value for this string must be extension of the desire language pack.

Example:
IMiS client is installed in "C:\Program Files\IS\IMiS" folder. Our desire language is German.
In Windows registry we add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CodeGear\Locales" key. In that key we add string with name "C:\Program Files\IS\IMiS\imisscan.exe". Its value must be “deu”
