Messages in other languages - the KDCMTXT tool

Message texts are output in English as standard (German message texts are generated using KDCMMOD). The KDCMTXT utility is a tool for adding message texts in other languages to the message definition file utm-path/msgdescription.

You need KDCMTXT if the standard message texts are to be output in a language other than German or English. You use KDCMTXT to insert your translations in the message definition file and create an NLS source file, from which you can generate an NLS message catalog by using gencat. From the extended message definition file, you can generate a C source program for a message module with KDCMMOD.

The following diagram illustrates the inputs and outputs for KDCMTXT.
