1.17 GEMS only creates artwork for what we call the “default” language.
Unfortunately, which language is
the “default” is not made very clear by the user interface. If you click on each of the languages,
it is the one that can’t be deleted.
You will see the delete button disappear. It doesn’t depend on what id you make
the language. We should probably
make a change to 1.17 to put an asterisk beside the default language, or
something.
If you have gone and
entered all your default language as English, you are pretty much stuck other
than to edit every text for English make it the English+Spanish, and visa-versa. You can send me the database and I’ll
hack it up if you like.
There is also a
1.18.14 pre-release that fully supports multiple languages for paper. A release will be out once Ravina has
had a change to finish her testing.
I’ll send you the pre-release on command.

language specification
A
database is defined with the following
languages:
·
English,
Id 0, AccuVote-TS, Locale Id 1033
·
Spanish,
Id 20, AccuVote-TS, Locale Id 1034
·
English
and Spanish, Id 30, AccuVote-OS, Locale Id
1033
Race
and candidate text is defined with distinct text for each language. The
Id of 'English' is set to 40, while the Id of 'English and Spanish' is set to
0. Although the 'English and Spanish' Id has been set to 0, and although
the 'English and Spanish' language is the only language defined for
AccuVote-OS, ballot artwork does not appear in the Card Editor with ballot
text defined for 'English and Spanish'. What am I missing
here?
