To save a library display with more than 40 languages

1. Create a display in one application, with up to 40 languages, and add it to the library,

as described in the previous section.

2. Add the display into a new application, with up to 40 different languages in the new

application.

3. Export the text for your application, which will include the text used in the graphic

display.

4. Translate the text strings into each desired language, saving the file with a new name

for each language.

5. Import the files for the new languages.

6. Add the graphic display (with the same name as the display in step 1) to the Libraries

folder.

The new languages are added to the library. Make sure the display contains the same
objects as the original display. Otherwise the new display will overwrite the previous
display, and all the original language strings will be undefined.

What is shown

When you open a library that supports multiple languages, the strings are shown using the
current application language, if available. If the library does not contain the current
language, the strings are shown as single question marks. Similarly, if the library contains
the language but not all the strings are defined for the language, undefined strings are
shown as single question marks.

For more information about using multiple languages with graphic libraries, see
Chapter 12.

you specify a different directory, FactoryTalk View saves graphic libraries that you add or
