Updated DRLs for Discovery 3.x
Downloads may be found at the foot of this page.
What is a DRL?
A DRL (Discovery Report Language) file contains all the information that
Insights Discovery needs to create profiles in the specified language.
What will an update do for me?
Each updated DRL contains the latest revision of a reporting language
for Insights Discovery. Revisions may range from minor corrections
to translations of entire new profile chapters.
How can I tell whether I need an update?
Start your copy of Insights Discovery, and from the Help menu
select About Insights Discovery. The resulting dialog
box will show exactly which version of each language you have. Compare
the version you have with the updates below to see whether you require
an update or not.
How do I update a DRL?
You will need to find Discovery's "Languages" folder on your hard disk.
The exact location of this folder will depend upon where you chose to
install Insights Discovery to. It may also depend on which language version
of Microsoft Windows you are using, or on the policies that your network
administrator has created. However, the most common location is:
C:\Program Files\Insights\Discovery\Languages
If you are unsure where to find the "Languages" folder, try searching for files ending with the extension ".DRL" using the Find or Search option on the Start Menu.
When you have found Discovery's "Languages" folder, make sure that Discovery is not running, then identify the DRL file that you want to update. If a copy of the file already exists in the "Languages" folder, we recommend strongly that you make a backup copy of it in a different folder.
Once you have made sure that you have a backup copy of any existing DRLs you want to update, download the new DRL from the foot of this page to a safe location, and then copy it into Discovery's "Languages" folder, replacing the older version. If the update is a new language for Discovery, you will not need to replace an existing file. If there is an existing file in the folder, you may be asked whether you want to overwrite it. So long as you have created a backup copy of the original file elsewhere, this should not cause any problems.
When you start Discovery again, it will be able to use the new or updated language immediately - just select the appropriate language on Discovery's Languages menu in order to be able to open reports in that language.
Why are some chapters in English?
Insights Discovery's profiles are being translated on a chapter-by-chapter
basis. When a chapter is not available in the selected language, English
text is substituted. Revisit this page every so often to see whether
new translations are available.
Will I be able to re-print an existing profile using the new
DRL?
Yes. Depending on what has changed in the new DRL, you may notice some minor
improvements in wording, or a few statements which are too similar to others
may have been removed. However, the profile will remain substantially the same.
