DT Max is a bilingual program that you can use in either English or French. You choose the language in which you wish to use the program on the opening splash screen. This choice will be remembered by DT Max so that the next time you run the program, it will automatically be set to the language last chosen. In DT Max, to change the language of use from English to French, choose Switch languages in the File menu, or press [Ctrl+L]. To switch from French to English, the option is Changer de langue. The language in which you use the program does not prevent you from printing a return in the other language. This is governed by the language of your client, as defined in the client file. The default language is determined by the following settings in the Preferences menu:
When displayed on the screen, a client's tax return will be in your language, that is the language currently chosen by the user to run DT Max, which may or may not be that particular client's language. Correspondence intended for the client will be displayed in his/her language. DT Max does not translate your entries. They remain in the language in which they are originally made. There are entirely different sets of keywords and options in English and in French because the keywords represent abbreviations of the purpose they serve. While entering data, the keywords are only available in the language in which you are running the program (you can see the corresponding keyword in the alternate language by pressing [Alt+K] on the keyword). If someone else uses the program in the other language and edits the keywords in the same client file, the keywords will all appear in the language currently being used.
