Language Skins

Flare supports regular skins and language skins; and out of the box Flare offers several common languages in regular skin files. A regular skin controls how the interface looks for online outputs, whereas a language skin is used to display the interface in a specific language, mostly for online output but there are also some print-based uses for it. The following are reasons why you would use a language skin in addition to a regular skin.

• You need to work in a language that Flare does not support with regular skin files.
• You can enter an alternate translation to the default user interface (UI) text string in a regular skin, but if you use a language skin for this, the alternate translation can be used for all skins in a project.
• You need to modify UI text strings that are not available in a regular skin, such as a cross-reference, drop-downs, etc.
