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. You
define all the localized languages that the project supports and set the current,
default, and optional custom localized language. The default language is used if the
current language's content 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 your project, either when
programming in that language or by using the import/export utility to translate
the documentation off-line and then import it back into the project. Once you
enable language switching, you can dynamically switch between languages as you
use the software.
Project documentation that supports multiple translations within a project
includes these logic elements.
• Component descriptions in tags, routines, programs, user-defined data
types, and Add-On Instructions
• Equipment phases
• Trends
• Controllers
