Setting the language

The SMART Language Setup utility enables you to set the language for a specific SMART program or all SMART programs installed on your computer.

To set the language

Select View > Language Setup.

The Language Setup dialog box appears.
Select All Listed Applications in the first drop-down list to set the language for all programs.

OR

Select a program in the first drop-down list to set the language for only that program.
Select the appropriate language in the second drop-down list.
Notes
- If appears beside your selected language, the language is installed on your computer.
- If appears beside your selected language, the SMART Language Setup utility downloads the language from the website after you click OK in step 6.
- By default, the SMART Language Setup utility uses Internet Explorer Internet browser’s settings to connect to the Internet. However, you can use different settings by completing the steps under To set the connection options.
Tip

To display the languages in their native names (for example, Deutsch for German), select the Show native names check box.
If you want to use different languages for handwriting recognition and spell checking, select languages in the Handwriting and Spell check drop-down lists.

Note

If AUTO appears in the drop-down list, the SMART Language Setup selects your chosen language if available or a similar language if otherwise. If neither option is available, SMART Language Setup select the current language.
If you want to use a different keyboard layout, select a layout in the Keyboard drop-down list.

Important

The keyboard layout you select in the Keyboard drop-down list applies to both the on-screen keyboard and the keyboard connected to your computer when you use SMART Notebook software.

In some situations, you might want to select a layout that is different from the layout of the keyboard connected to your computer (for example, to teach a second language). In these situations, the on-screen keyboard works correctly, but the keyboard connected to your computer might not.

For best results, ensure the layout you select is identical to the layout of the keyboard connected to your computer. For example, if an English (U.S.) keyboard is connected to your computer, select English (United States) in this drop-down list.

Click OK.
