Switch application languages at design time

If an application is designed with multiple languages, you may need to switch application languages at design time to check the layout of translated text.

To switch application languages at design time

  1. From the Application menu, select Change Application Language, or on the toolbar, click ChangeAppLanguage.
  2. In the Change Application Language dialog box, select the language you want to change to.

    Tip:

    The language list shows the languages added to the application, first with the language name and then with the language RFC1766 identification code.

  3. Click OK.

The text in the following dialog boxes will be changed to the selected language:

  • Alarm Setup
  • Display
  • Global objects
  • Information Messages
  • Local Messages

If any of the dialog boxes is opened and has unsaved changes, a message prompts you to save the changes.
