Language switching
WinCC flexible allows a multilingual project configuration. Up to five of these project
languages can be loaded on the HMI device simultaneously.
Runtime allows you to change the languages provided this function is configured. Language-
specific objects such as texts or formats are localized. The following objects may contain
language-relevant texts:
• Alarms
• Screens
• Text lists
• Help texts
• Recipes
• Date/time
• Static texts
Objects in the template screen
Objects which should be available on each screen are configured in the template by the
project engineer, e.g. important process values or date and time.
An operating element in a permanent screen area is available in all screens. In the case of
touch panels, a button in a template screen represents a globally effective softkey.
Pictograms
In the case of keyboard devices, icons can be configured along the bottom and side margins
of the screen.
Icons highlight the screen-specific functions of the softkeys. Use the associated softkey to
trigger the function symbolized by the icon.
