Layouts, Menu and Style Sheet Components are language specific

All presentation layouts, menus (standard or DHTML) and style sheet components are partition and language specific.

The Layout, Menus and Style Sheet associated with process DEFAULT are used as the default components for processes in your current partition. It is not used for the complete LANSA system.

If you create a Layout, Menu or Style Sheet for a specific process in the LANSA system default language, these components will be used as the default for the specific process regardless of language. Creating a language specific component will override the default language component. Consequently, any specific process component changes made in the default language will affect the selected process in all languages in the partition where you are working.

Changes to a process component in a language other than the partition default language will only affect the selected process for the selected language in the partition where you are working. For example, if your LANSA system default language is ENG and you have a new process TEST01 which you want to define a French standard right menu for, LANSA will look for the following menu components in hierarchical order:
TEST01_RMENU (FRA)

TEST01_RMENU (ENG)

DEFAULT_RMENU (FRA)

DEFAULT_RMENU (ENG)
