Selecting a Language
Avid supports several different languages. Language packs are purchased separately. You receive
one free language with the purchase and activation of PhraseFind. You can purchase and have
multiple languages licensed on your system, however, you can only use one language per project.
Every time you choose a new language, the system re-indexes and re-populates with the new
language phonetic files.
If you only have one language licensed on your system, the system accepts the default language
and displays it in the Find window. You do not need to select a language in the Find window.
To select a language:
1. Open your Avid editing application and an Avid project.
2. Press Ctrl+F (Windows) or Cmd+F (Macintosh), or select Edit > Find.
The Find window opens.
3. If your default language does not display, select your language from the Language menu.
n
Languages only appear in the menu if you have purchased additional language packs.
The system indexes the phonetic files.
If you change the language, a dialog box opens asking if you are sure you want to change
your language. This is due to the fact that the system deletes the existing phonetic files and
then re-indexes the new language phonetic files. This might take some time. The Index
indicators at the bottom of the Find window displays green when the index is complete.
