Multi-language Database
All the text on the user interface display is fully programmable. You can
enter up to five different languages using the table provided in the
programming tool that lists all the texts for translation. You can then
select the preferred language from a screen menu after you log onto the
system.
The display plug-in allows you to develop the main display application
in the chosen primary language. An export feature then allows you to
export all the different strings and names of variables to a file that can
be translated. The translation must follow certain rules (for example,
maximum string length).
An import feature of the display plug-in inserts the additional language
databases into the display application (ready for the download).
This feature is well suited for those who export systems to many
countries in the world or for systems in areas where more than one
language is spoken.
