You will also assign the language code (ID) in the “Value” column of each language. As shown below, you will also want to disable the “Write on Enter” parameter on the list selector, because with a touchscreen, there is no ENTER key.īy double-clicking on the list selector, you can modify the colors, text and other attributes of the list selector. No matter which graphical method that you use, you will write to the “$SysCurrentLang” parameter as well as use it as the indicator (read) tag. The recommended method is to use the “List Selector” object, as shown below, so that an operator can scroll through the languages and select the language of choice. That is not the most user-friendly option for an operator, but it does work. You can use a numeric input object and change the code to the appropriate language. I learned that you can change languages a couple of ways. This can make copy/paste of use and can be a little faster when having to do a large project of translations.Īfter making the changes in excel, save the file and use the “Import Language List” button to import the file back into the project. Just as you can manually make the language translations here, you can also export the language lists to excel by clicking the “Export Language List” button. This value will be important when changing languages at runtime. English is 1033 and Spanish (Mexico) is 2058. Note that each language has a code (ID) number associated with it. Here, use the arrows to select the languages that you wish to have in your project. To add or remove languages from the project, select the “Manage Language List” button and the pop up shown below will appear. All added languages will show up here in columns where you can translate words or phrases manually.

Here you can access all the needed features to manage languages in the project. In the general settings of the PV800, select the “Languages” tab.

The initial setup of languages is all managed from one location. As we have looked at language switching in the PanelView 5000 and View Designer recently, I wanted to follow-up on that article with this one in which I'll implement the same feature in a PanelView 800 using Connected Components Workbench.
