Summary and tips for setting up language switching
To set up language switching for an application:
1. Develop the application in a base language.
2. Export the application’s user-defined text strings.
When translating to or from Unicode character sets (for example, Asian
languages), you must export and then import the RSLogix 5000 tag database as a
.txt file. The .csv format does not support Unicode character sets. This limitation
does not apply to FactoryTalk Tag Alarm and Event Servers.
3. Translate the strings. You can use Notepad or Microsoft Excel. Excel is useful for
large numbers of strings.
4. Import the translated strings back into the application.
For more detailed information about setting up language switching, see the
FactoryTalk View Site Edition Help in FactoryTalk View Studio, and see the
FactoryTalk View User’s Guide — in FactoryTalk View, click Help > Online Books.
