  Assigning languages to channels 
This facility allows you to specify a language for each

access them by means of headphones connected to a 
channel selector unit, a contribution unit with a built-
in channel selector, or an infra-red receiver. 
 
To assign languages to channels: 
•  Select the ‘Edit’ menu on the menu bar and click 
on ‘Channel Language Assignment...’

  Choosing a language list 
The language list is itself available in a number of 
languages. You can choose to display the language 
list in English, French, or by the original name of 
each language. You can also create up to three 
customized lists that let you determine how the 
available languages are displayed. 
The list consists of two items per record: 
• 
A descriptive name of up to 10 characters. The 
descriptive name is used in ‘Desk Language 
Assignment’
 see paragraph 3.3. 
• 
A three-letter abbreviation, which is used in the 
display of the interpreter desk. See the 
Installation and User Instruction for more 
information about the display of the interpreter 
desk.
