To change the default language, open the Language Configuration dialog box, select an
application language from the list, and then click Set as Default (shown in the previous
illustration).

A check mark beside the language you selected indicates that it is the default application
language. For information about using the default language to show undefined text
strings, see “Showing undefined text strings in the default language,” next.

When you open an existing FactoryTalk View SE application, if the application supports
several languages and no default is specified, the following dialog box opens, so that you
can select a default language.

Showing undefined text strings in the default language

By default, any undefined text strings in a FactoryTalk View application, which cannot be
viewed in the current application language, are shown as a question mark ( ? ) .

If you prefer undefined strings to display in a specific language, in the Language
Configuration dialog box, set up that language as the default application language, and
then select the check box, Display undefined strings using the default language.

For example, use this option to always view displays used for maintenance purposes in
English, regardless of the current application language.

Using this option will also ensure that local message strings show correctly, when you
switch application languages at run time.

Select a default
language for an
application.
