Launching Z and I Emulator for Transformation in Japanese Language

Starting with version 2.0, ZIETrans can be installed using one of the following procedures:

1. Packaged Distribution: Includes eclipse with ZIETrans and all dependent tools installed.
2. Plugin Repository: If users have already installed Eclipse (Version name: Oxygen) they can use ZIETrans plugin repository to install the required ZIETrans toolkit. The dependent plugins such as WDT, JBoss, EMF, Window Builder must be installed along with ZIETrans.

“For both Packaged Distribution/Plugin Repository, enabling the Japanese language includes adding –Duser.language=ja below –vmargs”

Note: However, when the OS default language is Japanese Language, the parameter -vmargs is not required to be set in .ini file.
