Overview - building DCT to show the field labels and description in local language.

To allow your users to see the fields and description in the templates in their own language you can modify your DCT to have the labels and description typed in local language. The steps are:
1. Open the DCT in Notepad
2. Type in the field labels and description in local language. MSWin2K comes standard with the ability to type in more than one language.
3. Save the DCT as UTF-8 encoding. For some reason, Notepad will append some extra characters in the first line of the file.
4. Open the DCT in a text editor e.g. EditPlus, TextPad, UltraEdit, etc., and delete the extra characters at the first line. Save as is or Unicode. If text editor is already running in MSWin2K in the relevant locale, then do steps 1-3 in the text editor and save the file in Unicode or UTF-8 encoding.

Your DCT should be able to render the form with the labels and description in it's appropriate language.
