Versions 17 and later of the Logix Designer application can display project
documentation, such as tag descriptions and rung comments, for any
supported localized language. Store project documentation for multiple
languages in a single project file rather than in language-specific project files.
Define all the localized languages that the project will support and set the
current, default, and optional custom localized language. The default
language is used if the current content of the language is blank for a particular
component of the project. Use a custom language to tailor documentation to a
specific type of project file user.
Enter the localized descriptions in a project by programming in that language,
or by using the import/export utility to translate the documentation offline
and import it back into the project. When language switching is enabled,
users can dynamically switch between languages.
Project documentation that supports multiple translations within a project
includes:
• Component descriptions in tags, routines, programs, user-defined
data types, and Add-On Instructions.
• Equipment phases.
• Trends.
• Controllers.
• Alarm Messages (in ALARM_ANALOG and ALARM_DIGITAL
configuration).
• Tasks.
• Property descriptions for modules in the Controller Organizer.
• Rung comments, SFC text boxes, and FBD text boxes.
For more information on enabling a project to support multiple translations
of project documentation, see the online help.
