Editing Text for Context-Sensitive Cross-References

You can use language skins to localize the text used in your cross-references. In addition, even if you plan to create output in only one language, you can use a language skin to change the autotext that is displayed for context-sensitive cross-references. For example, instead of the text displaying "on next page," it can be customized to display "on the following page." See Creating Context-Sensitive Cross-References.

Flare provides skins for many different languages (see Translation and Localization). If Flare does not provide a skin for a language that you would like to use, or if you want to edit the default translation, you can create a user-defined language skin.
