Change the Local Language at Runtime

The language of runtime display items such as alarm descriptions, button text, keyboard/alarm logs, graphic text, Cicode strings and so on can be changed using one of the following functions:

• Login

• UserLogin

• LoginForm.

Normal operations of the project continue unaffected.

Local translations that are missing from the specified language database are replaced by the native equivalent. You can specify to display "#MESS", instead of the native text, by setting the [Language]DisplayError parameter to 1 (one); the default is 0 (zero).

Note:
1. The [Language]DisplayError parameter does not apply to alarm strings.
2. For alarm data where there are multiple clients and one user name, a scenario may occur where the runtime display shows a variety of languages. For more information refer to Alarm Data Localization.
