Language

A language attribute in the SPM configuration file \spm\ams.cfg (DOS version) or
/usr/ams/ams.cfg (UNIX System version) specifies whether SPM menus, pop-up
windows, and other messages are presented in English, French, or Spanish. A
second language selection option affects messages from the control unit to SPM,
and controls the display on the console simulation window for the duration of the
session. These two language options operate independently of each other.
The following discussion refers to the language specified in the SPM configuration
file as the PC language and the language used by the control unit as the console
window language.
PC Language
During SPM installation, you select a language that is recorded in the SPM
configuration file. Any time thereafter, SPM can be started with the -l option to
specify a different language, using one of the following command lines:
spm-l english
spm-l french
spm-l spanish
Use of the -l option changes the language attribute in the ams.cfg file. The
language specified becomes the new PC language, used whenever SPM is
started without the -l option.
Console Window Language
By default, the language used in the console simulation window is the language
specified in the ams.cfg file; however, you can select a different language for this
window for the duration of the current session.
NOTE:
The option is a lowercase letter "l" and not the number "1".
