Radio Display Language

Chinese and Arabic Character Restrictions:

When the Radio Display Language is set to "Chinese (Traditional)" or "Arabic", for radio-user recognizable Name / Alias Fields where you are able to validly enter up to 14, 8, or 4 characters into the text box (the limit depends on the particular field), if you enter text containing Chinese (Traditional) or Arabic characters, then only 8, 6 or 2 characters respectively can fit in the radio's display. See also: CPS Name Field Data Validation for a list of Name / Alias fields.

Hebrew and Arabic Guidelines:

When the Radio Display Language is set to "Hebrew" or "Arabic", the CPS Language should also be set to match the "Hebrew" or "Arabic" selection so that character strings (such as Zone Names) will be displayed using the same Right-to-Left rules on the radio display and in the CPS.

Diacritics: Diacritics are not supported in the CPS as the radio's display is unable to represent them.

Numbers: Numbers entered from the radio's keypad are always shown as 0–9.

Writre, Clone or FLASHing Error Messages:

If during a radio codeplug-Write, codeplug-Clone, or a FLASHing you receive the error message "Radio does not have enough free space to support the Radio Display Language selected", you must select another Radio Display Language and then perform a Write or Clone again.

Writre, Clone or FLASHing Error Messages:

If during a CPS to radio codeplug-Write, codeplug-Clone, or a FLASHing (when this Radio Display Language is set to a non-English language) you receive the error message "RadioLanguagePacks folder of the CPS install is empty", or your receive the error message "One or more files in the RadioLanguagePacks folder of the CPS install is corrupted", then you must re-install CPS version R08.00.00 or later.

The CPS Installation copies all supported radio Language Packs (encrypted *.LPK files) to your computer system.

When Radio Display Language is "English", no Language Pack (LP) files are written to the radio since English is the radio's default language. Therefore, anytime a non-English LP is not successfully installed on the radio, English text is always available to appear in the radio's display.

Radio Firmware Prior to R07.00.00 Warning:

When FLASHing a radio with R08.00.00 or later firmware, where the radio's current firmware version is prior to R07.00.00, and the Radio Display Language is not English, you must perform a Read and Write of the radio after FLASHing is complete, to allow the required Language Pack (LP) files to be written to the radio.

When FLASHing a radio with R08.00.00 or later firmware, where the radio's current firmware version is R07.00.00 or later, and the Radio Display Language is not English, the LP files are written as part of the radio FLASHing.
