You can create separate custom forms for each combination of language, scope, and patron type by using the following naming convention:
acquire_web_LANG_s#_p#.html
| LANG | The language code (spi for Spanish, frc for French, etc.). |
| s# | The number of the scope (s1, s2, s3, etc.). |
| p# | The patron type or PTYPE (p0 or p243, etc.). |
For a current example of this form, see the appropriate example set in WebPAC Example Sets and Photoshop Files on CSDirect.
