About language switching
The FactoryTalk View language switching feature gives operators the ability to switch
between up to 40 different languages in one application at run time.
FactoryTalk View SE Clients can run in any of the languages an application supports. In a
network distributed application, multiple clients can run in different languages at the same
time.
With language switching, you can:
 Develop an application in a language, export the application’s text strings, and then
import strings translated into multiple languages back into the application.
 Deploy the same network distributed application in different countries.
 Provide operators in multilingual countries with the ability to choose which language
they use.
