OMRON CHAPTER 13 – Multilingual Features
Release 2.0 Page 219
Note: Remember that the choice of runtime language is in no way connected to the language of the
installed Developer application.
Setting the Default language
The Runtime application first starts up in the preferred default language. Set this language during
development from the Language Settings dialog (select menu Project|Runtime Settings…|Language
Settings):
After setting, when the application is next run it will start in the selected language
Note: In this context for this dialog only, “<Default>” means no language file will be loaded so the
default text compiled in the executable, i.e. English, will be used. This is the initial setting,
and can be useful if no Language features are being used.
Runtime Multilingual Features
Applications supporting more than one language can be very useful, for example for general use in
countries with more than one national language, or where a plant has a specific mix of personnel.
This can also prove valuable for international installations when the developers and on-site
maintenance engineers native language is different to the end customers. The system can be switched
to a comfortable language during work, and easily switched back to the customer’s requirement prior
to hand over.
All translations for all system text (like dialogs, menus and errors etc) are installed automatically.
User defined text entered at development time (like button captions, static text like “Value =”, graph
titles etc.) can be exported to a text file for easy translation into as many additional languages as
required. At runtime the user can then change languages dynamically i.e. without having to exit and
restart the application. The translated system text and user defined text is automatically loaded and
displayed.
