Changing the Language setting displays the emulated
content using the fonts that are associated with the device in your
preferences (File menu > Preferences). The Emulator
tab displays fonts that are as similar as possible to those used
on the actual device. If you have the actual device font, change
your font mapping to that font to emulate the content as accurately
as possible.
When you change the Language setting on the Device Status panel,
ensure that a matching font is installed on your computer and that
the font is mapped to the language in Preferences. For example,
if you change the Adobe Device Central language setting
to Japanese, but do not have any Japanese fonts installed or mapped
in Preferences, the Emulator cannot display text in Japanese.
Note: The Device Central Language setting is comparable to the Flash
Locale setting. The setting applies to values returned from the
host environment such as Flash Player or the device operating system.
The language setting also controls the formatting applied to
date and time. For example, with language set to German, the date
and time appears as 20. Maerz 2006, but set to English it appears
as March 20, 2006.
Note: Advanced users familiar with XML can extend
the list of languages provided through the Language combo box. To
do this, edit the DeviceLanguages.lng file in the Devices folder
where Adobe Device Centralis installed. On Windows
XP, the default location is C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local
Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Device Central CS3. On Windows
Vista, the default location is C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Adobe\Adobe
Device Central CS3. On Mac OS, the default location is:
user folder/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Device Central
CS3/Devices/devicelanguages.lng.
