About Process Analyst Resources

The Process Analyst uses a special file, called Resources.dll, to store its display strings and dialog boxes. This file holds the native translations for your version of the Process Analyst; these native translations are considered the default language. For example, the Japanese version of the Process Analyst will contain Japanese resources inside the Resources.dll file.

A separate Resources.dll file is required for each individual language that you want to support in your system. Each file uses a special format to indicate the language. The Process Analyst expects the file to be named:

Resources_<LanguageCode>.dll.

Where <LanguageCode> is the unique identifier of your dll.

For example, a French resources file will be named Resources_fr.dll. Plant SCADA uses the RFC 1766 standard for specifying culture names.
