For example, if you have a locale pack for the Japanese, Chinese and Korean locales, and used ja-JP locale name for the Japanese locale, zh-ZH for the Chinese locale, ko-KR for the Korean, create the binaries.cfg, open it in a text editor, add the names of these locale pack files to the binaries.cfg file, and save the file.
ja-JP ko-KR zh-ZH

For example, if you are still developing your application, select the GL_vs2015_Debug configuration. If you want to create a production version of your Kanzi application, select one of the available release configurations.
