Non-English Styler UI error when importing OOTB module

[Arbortext User]

If you’re in a non-English Arbortext Editor and Styler UI, you may see an error when attempting to import the OOTB dita.style module as your base.

[The gist of this error is: “attempting to import an english-language-based module into a German stylesheet”]

The Fix

There are two things to change to make this work. In Stylesheet Properties->Language tab:

1. Change the stylesheet default language
2. Change the generated text source language

Now you can import dita.style without any errors

To add language support, you’ll do XLIFF to add the language-specific generated text

Potential Second Error

If you only change the stylesheet-default language but not the Generated Text source language, you will see a second error:

[The gist of this error is: “mismatch of generated text language defaults”]

Be sure to do step #2 above to clear this error.
