Language switching

In versions 17 and later of the application, you can 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 will support and set the current, default, and optional custom-

localized language. The software uses the default language 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

offline and then import it back into the project. When 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 the following:

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
