Configure languages for a Galaxy

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

When you open a graphic 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 graphic G1 in the Graphic Editor. graphic G1 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 graphic G1 again to see the German language available for the graphic.
