Languages

Plant SCADA supports a language switching capability that allows text within the runtime environment to be translated and displayed into a variety of languages.

Language switching is configured in two very different ways, depending on the type of content you are creating.

• Standard Projects

  With a standard Plant SCADA project you can flag items for translation and then display them in a specified language at runtime. A project can support multiple languages, and you can dynamically switch between them.

  To achieve this, you need to provide the required translations by building a localized database for each supported language.

  For more information, see Configure Languages for a Standard Project.

• Industrial Graphics Applications

  If you are producing content for an AVEVA™ Industrial Graphics application, you can apply different set of strings to a graphic object for each supported language. The content that gets displayed is then determined by the language that is selected in the Industrial Graphics Web Client.
