You can localize Recipe Manager Plus using the import/export command line utility.

To add a new language to Recipe Manager Plus, do the following:

  1. Install and configure your edition of Recipe Manager Plus with a valid license. For more information, refer to the Recipe Manager Plus Install Guide.

  2. After you install Recipe Manager Plus, open a command prompt and navigate to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Wonderware\RecipeMngrPlus\Bin folder.

  3. In the command prompt, type RepositoryResourceUtil.exe and press enter. It will list the usage and Resource Groups/Languages in Repository as shown below:

    Usage: ResourceRepositoryUtil [import file override] [export application resourceGroup [language]]

    If you run the RepositoryResource utility for the first time, it creates a new localization database.

    NOTE: If no language is specified for export, the default [en-US] is assumed.

  4. The UserMessages.csv file, located in the bin directory of Recipe Manager Plus, contains all User Interface and Alarm messages currently available to the system.

    Provide the appropriate translation for the language you want to create, and save the .csv file under a new name using the UTF-8 format.

  5. To load that file into Recipe Manager Plus, copy the .CSV file into the bin directory of your Recipe Manager Plus Server, and run the RepositoryResourceUtil.exe utility in a command prompt.

    Make sure that the file is UTF-8 encoded. Otherwise you will see issues specifically with extended characters that many foreign languages have. (in German, ü, ä, or ö are good examples).

For more information on the CSV file format and import rules, refer to the CSV File Format topic.

If you have created a .CSV file in Microsoft Excel, you must perform the following to ensure that the UTF-8 encoding is preserved.

  1. Open the saved .CSV file in notepad.

  2. Click File -> Save As. The Save As dialog box appears.

  3. Specify the File name.

  4. Select UTF-8 from the Encoding list and then click Save.
