Import application components developed in different countries into a single
application that supports multiple languages.
In FactoryTalk View Studio, use the Language Configuration dialog box to export text
strings for one language, or for all languages in an application.
You can translate or modify the exported strings, and then import them back into the
application. For information about:
Exporting text strings, see page 13-11.
Importing translated text, see page 13-20.
Text strings you can view in different languages at run time
In applications that support multiple languages, the following types of text strings can be
viewed in different languages at run time:
Captions, tool tip text, time and date embedded variables, and numeric embedded
variables defined for FactoryTalk View graphic objects
Titles typed in the Display Settings dialog box, for FactoryTalk View graphic displays
FactoryTalk View local messages
FactoryTalk View text objects
Text strings defined for FactoryTalk Alarm and Event summaries, banners, and log
viewers. For details, see the FactoryTalk Alarms and Events Help.
Specifying time, date, and numeric formats
During development or at run time, FactoryTalk View uses the Windows regional settings
for the current application language when you enter, modify, or display information (such
as dates and numbers) in an application.
You can also change the formats in the Windows Region and Language so that the display
of FactoryTalk View matches the standards or language used in the country or region
where you are located.
For example, for a numeric display object at run time, the decimal number 123.45 is
shown as:
123.45, if the current application language is English (United States).
123,45, if the current application language is German (Germany).
A text object with its SizeToFit property set to True might change in size when shown in
different languages.
