Please explain your question. Do you mean written language or programming language?

In the CD that is supplied with the ChemStation, look for a macro named MACTOOLS.mac. Copy this into the CORE directory and then load it into ChemStation. This macro will enable you to read the .reg files of the Chemstation. You will need to load the language register also into the Chemstation, using the macro. If you look around, you will see the text that you can change. Do not forget to first make copies of the files that you wish to change, otherwise you could have big problems.

When you load the .reg file into the ChemStation to make your changes, you must save it under the original name. When ChemStation starts, it will look for these files, not the ones that you have named.

So in your example, you load C:\HPChem\Core\Language\Enumenu.reg into Chemstation, make your changes, and then save as C:\HPChem\Core\Language\Enumenu.reg. As I mentioned in an earlier reply, first make copies of the files that you wish to change before you start working on them.

You will also need to restart Chemstation after you have made the changes.

I would not recommend that you work with the 'menu'.reg file. As mentioned in earlier messages, I suggest that you work only with the 'enumenu.reg' file ( after first making a backup copy). The ChemStation will read this file. I do not know the deep workings of the ChemStation, and it is quite possible that the ChemStation loads the enumenu.reg file and then creates the 'menu' object that you are seeing in the list when using the mactools macro.
