Language switching

With version 17 and later of the application, you have the option to display

project documentation, such as tag descriptions and rung comments for any

supported localized language. You can store project documentation for multiple

languages in a single project file rather than in language-specific project files.

Define all the localized languages that the project will support and set the current,

default, and optional custom localized language. The default language is used if the

current content of the language is blank for a particular component of the project.

However, you can use a custom language to tailor documentation to a specific type

of project file user.

Enter the localized descriptions in a project by programming in that language, or

by using the import/export utility to translate the documentation offline and

import it back into the project. Once you enable language switching, you can

dynamically switch between languages.

Project documentation that supports multiple translations within a project

includes:

Component descriptions in tags, routines, programs, user-defined data

types, and Add-On Instructions.

Equipment phases.

Trends.

Controllers.

Alarm Messages (in ALARM_ANALOG and ALARM_DIGITAL

configuration).

Tasks.

Property descriptions for modules in the Controller Organizer.

Rung comments, SFC text boxes, and FBD text boxes.
