Configuring Languages for a Galaxy

The language settings of the Galaxy control which languages are available to symbols and alarm and event messages. You cannot add a language at the symbol or attribute level. Languages are only added at the Galaxy level using the IDE.

When you open a symbol for editing using the Graphic Editor, open a managed InTouch application in WindowMaker, or open an AVEVA OMI ViewApp, the language settings are retrieved from the Galaxy.

For example, you configure English and French languages for the Galaxy. You open symbol S1 in the Graphic Editor. Symbol S1 is now configured with English and French languages. Using the IDE, you add German to the list of configured languages. You must close the Graphic Editor and open symbol S1 again to see the German language available for the symbol.
