Narrative reports - changing language

Is it possible to edit the source text that's used when generating a narrative report? I'd like to use a language other than English, and since there don't appear to be that many different phrases in the reports (e.g. 'was born on' or 'had ... children', it should be a straightforward job.
Is this possible/permissible?

I know Sabine has done quite a lot of this by customising the Text Schemes, via the tools menu.

Thanks! I can't find any text scheme options under Tools, though.

Sorry - Work With Fact Sets.
Check out the Manual for Fact Sets and see Understanding Text Templates in the help.

First reaction - great, I can easily change the phrases outside the curly brackets. However, parameters like 'date' obviously include extra words (in the case of dates, it is 'on', which needs to be changed for my purposes), so I need to learn more about the codes used by FH.
Further research needed here!
