Switch runtime languages

You can switch the language of the Alarm Control in the same way as other parts of your InTouch application. When you switch language, the alarm state, alarm class, alarm type, the various alarm comment fields, the column headers, and the status bar messages are switched to the selected language.

You can also run queries and scripts, which return results in the selected language

To switch the language

Do one of the following:

• In WindowViewer on the Special menu, point to Languages, and then click the language you want to switch to

  

• In WindowMaker, use the InTouch QuickScript SwitchDisplayLanguage in a button action script to switch the language. At run time, click the button to switch the language

• In WindowMaker, use the system tag $Language in a button action script and assign it to the language code you want to switch to. At run time, click the button to switch the language

For more information about run-time language switching, see Working with Languages, in the Application Server User’s Guide.

Important: If you rename or reorder column headers, you must repeat the symbol text translation procedures. If you do not, your changes will not be available for run-time language switching.
